How to get a dustplug dipstick out of iPhone earphone hole?

I dropped my phone and the decorative part of the plug came off with a part of the dipstick in it and the rest lodged in the iPhone earphone hole. I've used tweezers and the tip of a paperclip but it isn"t working. Any household items that could work or tricks err something? It's a iPhone 4S if that helps the idea.

I have done that with broken RCA jacks, so simple!

Heat a needle with a lighter… Push it on that piece… Wait a minute it gets cold… Now pull needle softly outside…

Buy a new one

  • Why does only one earphone in my iPhone work? I've had my iPhone 4 for about a year and a half now. When i got it all earphones worked, now only one works and same with speakers and docks. At first i thought i had blown my earphones but they work in everything else just not my phone.

  • What happens if you get water in iPhone 5 earphone port? I got water in my earphones and one earpiece became softer than the other so I got new ones. The new ones MIGHT have a similar problem so I'm wondering if I got water in the iPhone's earphone jack but I don't know if I'm just being paranoid or not and am merely hearing what I'm most afraid of. So what exactly will happen if water got in my earphone jack?
  • 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.
