ENT Specialist 's  Response
hi
it is possible that your ear drum is ruptured.
do not worry, traumatic injuries of the drum heal very well.
see an ent doctor for confirmation.
there is usually no need for treatment. the drum heals on its own.
keep your ear dry and do not try to clean it.
regards,
Dr Rajkishori Godhi.
