A Stony Tale!
Joe Binfield, who is now 10-years-old, was only five when he stuck the pebble in his left ear during a playground game at school.
His complains about pains and deafness to his mum Corinne, were not taken seriously as she thought that it had scratched his ear and fallen out.
The teachers in school told her that Joe could not hear properly and that he was falling behind in his class.
However no blockage could be found despite ten visits to his GP and the hospital. The mystery was later solved when a sharp-edged stone the size of a fingernail plopped out of his lughole.
"Joe was complaining of earache so I decided to investigate," The Sun quoted mum-of-three Corinne, of Brailsford, Derbys, as saying.
"I spotted what I thought was hard wax in the base of his ear.
"I bathed it with warm water and kept his head tilted and the thing began to move.
"Suddenly it popped out and a black stone landed on the kitchen surface. Joe felt a bit sick for a time but now his hearing is fine.
"I cried tears of joy because I was so happy," she added.
