A British man who endured agonising earaches for 33 years says he can finally sleep easy after doctors removed a tooth from his ear canal.

Stephen Hirst said he went to hospital for one final attempt to diagnose the source of the pain when the nurse made the discovery, the Daily Express reports.

"The nurse put a suction tube in my ear and cleaned it, then she had a go with a microscope probe and finally used some tweezers," Mr Hirst was quoted as saying.

"She said she couldn’t believe what she’d found in my ear and showed me the tooth."

The 47-year-old said he did not know how the tooth got in his right ear but believes it may have happened when he was still in school.

"At school one day I was swinging between two desks ... I fell and smashed the back of my ear. It might have happened then," the now 47-year-old said.

Mr Hirst, from Sheffield, said the pain in his ear was so intense he would often bang his head on the wall to distract himself.
