I got something stuck in the 'earbud hole' of my iPhone, how do I get it out?

So today at school I had my iPhone in my back pocket and I guess the plug of my earbuds broke (it was already a bit split) and got stuck in the hole where you plug earphones into. I tried to get the tip out with some tweezers but that only ended up in scratching the inside of my iPhone and getting the piece all smushed. I'm not sure what to do and I'd prefer if I didn't have to tell my parents because I have a feeling they'd be quite mad. TIA.

Just take the Cotton swab and clean your earbud hole with that.

Umm. I don't think a cotton swab is going to get a plug piece out. Thanks for trying thoe.
(I couldn't get it out with tweezers so its not gonna get out with a cotton swab. Haha) also the piece is stuck in the actual place where you plug the headphones in

  • Why isn't my right earbud working in my iPhone only? I have a pair of Bose earbuds and recently I have been having problems with them. The right earbud in them has not been working but it's only the right one and only in my iPhone. It has been working in every other earbud on my iPhone though the earbuds have been working properly, so what's the problem of my bose earbuds
  • Why iPhone s earbud make loud buzzing noise? When I was playing music on my iPhone 5s using its earbud, suddenly it makes a loud buzz (nearly killed my ears). At first, I thought it was my phone, but when I unplugged my earbud, the sound works fine. And then I thought my earbud was the problem but when I tried to restart my iPhone, and plugged in my earbud, it works! Happened for a few times and I still don't know how and why it happened.
  • No sound out of my iPhone 4s after broken earpiece lodged into earphone hole Ohkay. So I was at my neighbors house a couple weeks ago & one of their younger cousins took my iPhone 4s off the counter & tried to put a mini speaker in it. When she took the speakers back out, the part you insert in the iPhone broke off into my phone. I can't get it out so it won't play any music/sound out of my iPhone. What do I do? Is there any way that I can get it out? I have tried a lot & nothing seems to work.
  • No sound coming out right earbud on iphone 4? On all of my earbuds and headphones bo sound comes out the right earbud. But if i don't push the jack in all the way then i can hear out both. But when i put it in all the way i can only hear out he left, what's the answer? I've heard about if you bend the inside jack to much it wrecks it but i can still hear out of it just if i don't push it in all the way. What can i do without getting a new headphone jack replacement?
