I'm feeling like there's something stuck in my throat. It doesn't hurt, and I'm not having trouble swallowing, but it's just really uncomfortable. Any advice on what kind of test I should consider to figure out what's going on?

You may consider getting a barium swallow test or an endoscopy. These tests can help identify any potential issues in your throat or esophagus. Additionally, a laryngoscopy can also be helpful in examining your throat more closely. Please consult with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate test for your specific situation.

I went to get a hearing aid and the dealer took an ear impression but now there's material stuck in my middle ear after the CT scan. What should I do next and which hospital is best for this? If surgery is needed, could there be complications like damage to the incus or stapes when removing the material?

Go to an ENT surgeon with expertise in otologic surgery. Extraction under microscopic guidance is safe, but risks like ossicle damage must be discussed beforehand.
