I work in a sawmill, and today I was
struck by an object just above my ear, on
the head. Now I have an earache, and I
can't hear very well from that ear. I'm
also experiencing continuous tinnitus. Is
it likely that I have a ruptured ear drum?

Peforated Ear Drum Posted: 08-19-05 22:52pm
Sounds like you have a perforated ear drum
(if that is, in fact, what I have?)
i was slammed by an ocean wave directly on
my left ear, and perforated my ear drum
(the doctors could not actually see the
perforation, but could see blood behind
the ear drum, and assumed since it was a
sudden occurrence that it was a
perforation)... The pain only lasted 2
days, but still have some annoying
symptoms. That ear has the sensation of
being very clogged; however, any internal
noise is completely amplified (swallowing,
breathing, chewing), and it has been 10
days.
