Ruptured Eardrums? Help Needed Posted: 07-03-05 10:07am
I was cleaning my ears with a q tip today
and accidentally pushed it too far down
the ear. Now when I tilt my head
sideways I get this sharp pointy
sensation. I can't hear as well from my
ear anymore and the same goes whenever I
speak. Sounds seem to be more audible on
my normal ear. Is this serious?

Well a good rule of thumb is if its larger
than your elbow, don't put it in your ear.
Never put q- tips in the ear, theu are
only for thte outer section. I think you
should see an ent Dr. And tell them so
they can see what is wrong. I hope you
feel better, take care, keep me posted on
how you are doing.

Thanks for the advice... I only found
that out after puncturing my eardrum :( .
I think i'll wait it out for a couple of
days and see if my condition improves.

But if you see a Dr. As soon as possible,
the faster you can get relief from the
pain and if something is realy wrong, the
faster it can be fixed...
