it doesnt hurt at all,bit why would I hear the same buzzing sound 2 times,and then a mosquito comes out of my ear or something like that?Because when i was on vacation I accidentally breathed in a fly type thing,what if its a baby mosquito or something?

I think mosquitoes are too big to fit in your ear and actually stay there. (Only the first little bit is all that big, then it gets really really narrow and there's a lot of little hairs and wax to keep stuff out).
It's entirely possible that flew really really close to your ear and may have even landed right inside the outer most part of the ear, and then flew away (making your think it came OUT your ear when it didn't even really get inside). But it's unlikely that it would actually stick around "inside your head", even baby mosquitoes.
But I did hear about a little boy (7 yrs old I think) that had two really tiny spiders inside his ear. He went to the doctor and they "flushed it" and they came out.
He didn't hear buzzing though, he described it as a "popping" sound... As for mosquitoes, the buzzing sound is made by their wings, and if they were inside your ear/head, they wouldn't be able to flap their wings, and that's why it flew back out again. I've had flies and bugs and stuff land in my ears too and then fly right back out when I freak and move my head. They're not very intelligent, so they don't realize that it's your ear...
If anything, maybe it's an ant or something. It would most likely die pretty quick though. Or a very tiny spider like that little boy had. They say the average human swallows 8 spiders over the course of their life, I'm sure the spider could walk into an ear just as easily.
It's probably nothing, but if you're that worried, it's better safe than sorry and go see a doctor. Don't go to the emergency room or anything (it'll cost a lot more and you'll probably wait for all day while they take everybody with more life-or-death, visible problems before you...). If it's not painful, you're probably fine just calling your family doctor in the morning and setting up an emergency visit.
Good luck!

Well mosquito or any bug are too big to come through your ear canal think logically. Get that worry out of the way. now find out what you are hearing and feeling next. Check with your doctor (S). There is nothing out there that doctors are not aware of as of today. You will be fine, nothing serious.

While a mosquito may have entered your outer ear, so you hear it buzzing, and then see it fly away, it is highly unlikely that it can get any further.
you would need to have a hole in your eardrum for it to get further.
See your Dr and get it checked to set your mind at rest.
