The individual of English origin has struggled with pain and hearing loss in the ear for the past five years. A relevant fact is that the man has sought medical help and underwent treatment for these symptoms.

However, People reports that the man decided to take more serious measures when he had a seizure. The writing in the journal's online version indicates that according to Live Science, doctors discovered a piece of hyssop stuck in his ear. This was what had caused these medical conditions that have affected him so much.

Dr. Alexander Charlton, an ear, nose and throat specialist, ENT, stated on swabs that: "They can only cause problems."
