Mehmet's father said his son had been constantly scratching his ear and complaining about the pain.
He added: "I asked him what was going on, and he said his ear was itching, that something inside was moving.
Specialist Dr Cagri Derici of the hospital in Adana, Turkey, said he "could not believe" what he saw.
The doctor said young Mehmet is making a recovery but the hospital is curious as to how the larvae entered his ear in the first place.
