A British man who suffered headaches and partial deafness for 30 years said doctors eventually found a tooth lodged in his ear canal.
一名深受頭痛與部分聽障之苦達30年的英國男子說，醫師最後發現他的耳道內藏著一顆牙齒。
Stephen Hirst, 47, of Sheffield, England, said he began suffering frequent earaches and infections when he was 14 and doctors were baffled as to the cause of the discomfort for 30 years, The Mirror reported Monday.
47歲、家住英格蘭雪菲爾市的史提芬．赫斯特說，他從14歲開始就經常有耳痛與感染的毛病，醫師對於此一不適的原因，30年來都束手無策，「鏡報」週一報導說。
"I decided to have one last try to sort it out. The nurse used a microscope then tweezers and pulled out the tooth. She stood there stunned. I don’t know why they didn’t find it before," Hirst said.
「我決定試最後一次，把它解決。護士用了一台顯微鏡，然後又用了鑷子，挖出這顆牙齒。她站在那裡愣住了。我不曉得為什麼他們以前沒有發現，」赫斯特說。
He said full hearing has not returned to his right ear, but the headaches have disappeared and he now sleeps with greater ease.
他說他的右耳聽力沒有完全恢復，但頭痛已消失，而且他現在可以睡得更安穩。
Hirst said the tooth, believed to be a child’s incisor, may have come from incidents he had at school.
赫斯特說，據信是兒童門牙的這個牙齒，可能來自於他在學校念書時所發生的一些事。
