Abstract: Objective To investigate the emergency management of complex sharps-based ear injuries and the management of complications. Methods This report describes the treatment and prognosis of a patient with an ear sharpshooter injury. Results After treatment, the patient's hearing partially improved and the facial palsy improved significantly. Conclusion There are many important blood vessels and nerves in the vicinity of the ear. Therefore, serious sharps injuries to the ear can lead to not only serious complications but also life-threatening injuries. Injuries to the external auditory canal by sharp instruments are inevitable, and multiple injuries greatly increase the difficulty of the surgical intervention, related postoperative care, and management of postoperative complications. This case report describes a personalized treatment plan that was used to improve the patient's prognosis and quality of life.

Key words: Sharp tool puncture, Temporal bone fracture, External auditory canal stenosis, Facial paralysis, Dysaudia
