Congradulations you just ruptured your ear drum most likley due to a bad cold or infection.

Go make a visit to the ER to prevent possible hearing loss.

I too would suggest you see a doctor. This can cause hearing loss.

Sounds like swimmers ear. If it is you will have some permenant hearing loss. You can minimize it by going to the doctor or emergency now before the infection and scarring sets in. I had it and believe me its no picnic.

Take the advice of many others have given. If the unibrow tells ya to go then you know there is something going on there. Even the smallest things can do permanent damage. Better to be safe then sorry.

Could be a high tymponic pressure, which causes hymorraging of a few membranes.

Either way, go get this fixed!! Definately not normal.

Or, you could jump in a server and I'll hit you with my medpack. Your choice.

Aucally it didint really hurt, well i went to the Doctors this morning , It is a Ruptured ear drum, they drained all the fluid out and stuck a cotton ball in it, the docotor said there will be scaring will will lead to about 15%hearing loss in that ear, but the worst part is im not gonna be able to work for the next 3weeks

because im a skydive instructer and the altiude changes could rupture it again, I just hope i dont have to wear one of those hearin Aid thingies that would be so ebarssing...
