Somethings stuck in my comp outlet?

I have an average Dell, where its got an audio socket in the front and i always used a set of headphones in it, well thee tip of my headphones input broke off inside the hole, and i cant get it out, i opened the computer up and theres only one way in and one way out, can some help me out?

Answers:
If possible (and very carefully), you could try to put a dab of super glue on the end of the broken piece and hold it back together. After it dries you may be able to pull the stuck piece out. Of course if you get too much glue on there you could end up gluing the other piece into the socket which will make it impossible to remove.

The headphone plug obviously won't work after super gluing it together but this may help pull out the stuck piece.

It sounds like you may need someone to unsolder the connection and then solder a new one back on. You could also just use the output on the back of the machine.
