Broken headphone piece stuck in audio jack

So a piece of the headphone plug on my headset broke off in the audio jack of my pc and now its stuck there. Basically, I can't hear anything cause the pc still thinks headphones are plugged in. So how to I go about taking it out?

@East Here's what I'd do if I were you: straighten paperclip, dab a drop of Krazy Glue on one end, carefully insert end with glue, wait four hours, PULL!

You're kind of screwed...also DO NOT put magnets anywhere near your computer. 1. It wouldn't work anyways. 2. You'll end up with bigger problems than the one you currently have.

@Judgecold: Tweezers don't fit o.o
@polymerase: I was gonna try that, but don't wanna risk clogging the audio jack itself because i can actually still hear something if i plug in headphones (even though the sound is washed out) or out of one ear on my headset.
@iLoveJesters: No, I don't think so.

Super glue and a rod that doesn't exceed three millimeters in diameter.

Isn't there a way to set it up so the speakers still work even with the headphones on?
