Hi..
Thanks for the query..

If the symptoms of pain and inability to listen started after putting ear bud in ear and it has led to bleeding then it can be probably due to perforation in the eardrum.

This can be due to deep penetration of the eardrum..

So my suggestion is to consult an ENT Physician and get evaluated and an otoscopic examination done..

If there is Infection along with perforation the first a course of antibiotics and anti inflammatory painkillers can be advised along with antibiotic and analgesic ear drops..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
