He is quoted as having told health officials that: “I felt uncomfortable sensation in my ear when I went to sleep last night, but I didn’t pay too much attention to it.. When I woke up this morning, the sensation was still there, but now there was also a drumming like sound.”
When doctors at the department of otolaryngology at the Dalian Central Hospital, in Dalian, China’s Liaoning province examined the unnamed patient, they reportedly noticed a white abnormal material.
According to odditycentral.com, Doctor Cui Shulin, deputy chief physician at the department used an endoscope to inspect the man’s inner ear canal, and observed that about 5 cm into the canal, there was a fog-like white barrier, and past it a moving creature that retreated deeper into the ear as the endoscope advanced.

Having done further checks, Doctor Cui Shulin said: “This seems to be a spider!”
He is reported to have recently disclosed to news men that his outfit realised that a spider had actually made the man’s ear a dwelling place.
He added that the patient had been sensing the sound in his ear when the spider is spinning the web.
The doctors then used a special syringe to flush out the spider and its web from the man’s ear with water, and he now has respite.
