Default Retrieving items that fell under driver's seat!

Does anyone else use colorful language when something falls between the driver's seat and the center console? I have a 2015 Q7 and it's wonderful. Except that my Fitbit and a very expensive earring now live under my driver's seat. How do I get them out? If I need a professional's help, where do I go for that? Thanks for your thoughts and assistance!

You use your seat buttons and lift the seat all the way up and all the way forward and retrieve your belongings!
I purchased a tray/cup holder for between the seat and console for both sides and all but eliminated the issue.

You could always use your vacuum with empty filter of course, and retrieve from the filter?

Many thanks for your good suggestions. I think these items have been lodged under the carpeting. When I put my hand between the seat and the side of the console, I can feel a split in the carpet and there is metal underneath. Nevertheless, I'll try your method!

The drivers seat will tilt back on hinges if you remove the front two triple square bolts.
