Sense organs are vital organs in the body and they have their specific functions. There are 5 sense organs in the body which include eyes, ears, nose, and others. Most of the time we don't really appreciate or value these organs until when things go wrong and it's then we now appreciate them more.
Today, I will be emphasizing on an 'important sense organ called the ear. The ear is an important organ of the body that can't be toil with. It's appearance might look insignificant but I must tell you that nothing can substitute it's function in the body. While growing up my mum always warned me never to put anything in my ear and she told me the danger of putting sharp objects in the ear. I can't imagine being deaf all because of any slight mistake, so most time I do prevent the use of sharp objects. In fact, I stopped trying to clean my ear on my own because I don't want anything that will damage my ear drum
I have series of stories about how some people insert sharp objects into their ears which damage their ear drum and ever since then they could not hear again. A similar scenario happened to a friend of mine while I was in secondary school, it was during break time, and She decided to clean her ear using a cotton bud. During the process of cleaning, she said the ear was itching her and kept on inserting the cotton bud deeper and deeper into the ear while showing facial excitement as a result of the itching, after few minutes she decided to draw out the cotton bud only for her to draw out the stick without the wool. She was scared and asked us to help her check. By the time we checked, we saw that the wool had stuck into the inner part of her ear. We all panicked and decided the report the issue to our class teacher. She was immediately rushed to the hospital when all efforts made to bring out the wool was futile.

Despite all that have heard and witnessed, I never let low of my guard by properly taking care of my ear as always. Irrespective of all my preventive measures, I had a terrible experience that I can not forget in my life. It happened that after my daily activity on that faithful day, it was already bedtime, I had family prayer with my family and went to bed. At around 1 am, I suddenly woke as a result of a sudden sound in my left ear. At first, I never took it serious but when the sound kept on persisting, I decided to stood up from the bed it was a funny noise in my ear accompanied by creepy movement. I was scared, series of negative thoughts started coming to my heart. I don't know what to do and I can't sleep, so I decided to wake my mum up, she too was scared when I explained how I was feeling. Before you know it, she carried a bottle of anointing oil and started binding and losing any forces that wanted to make her daughter deaf😂. It was a serious one that night.
After trying all attempts the creepy thing refuse to come out. So she ask me to place my left ear on the pillow. After about 15 minutes I noticed the thing crawling out of my left ear. Guess what?. It was a tiny cockroach, and as soon as it finished crawling out of my ear, I killed the cockroach immediately, and that's how I was free from this terrifying insect. I wonder how it got in there in the first place but yet I thank God that it ended up coming out, who knows what would have happened if it did not come out?
