Reminds me of the old adage: never stick anything larger than your elbow into your ear.
Hope you didn't damage either the speaker or the mic in the process. If you blow into it, it often comes out one of the other holes, cleaning those in the process. If you stick something in, you just force it in further.
I should add (just before anyone else goes there) that if you blow something into your ear, and it comes out the other ear, you have more problems than can be solved on this forum.
