Headphone Jack Broke Off In Phone – How To Remove

My headphone jack broke off in my phone. I need to remove the Headphone Jack. I was listening to music and I dropped my phone. It landed right on the headphone plug. It broke the piece that goes into my phone right off. Now the metal part is stuck in my phone audio input. How do I get it out?

(HINT: Once you get this fixed, if the headphones only have sound coming out of one ear go here to fix that problem too… Fix headphones with sound coming out of only one ear.)
