Ray Phillips, a British engineer, found that he could actually blow smoke out of his left ear. He was concerned and reported it to his doctor. At first, the doctor told him not to waste his time, but it proved to be true. He draws smoke from a cigarette, then holds his nose and forces it back through his throat into the Eustachian tube. The smoke passes to his outer ear through a hole in his ear drum. Mr Phillips has won a lot of bets from people who say it can’t be done. He holds his nose, out comes the smoke, and he walks away with the money.
