Have I burst my eardrum?!


Question: Have I burst my eardrum?
Last night, I was cleaning my ear out with a cotton bud and yes, I admit i did go a little deep but it never caused any pain. When i took the bud out it had a couple of speckles of blood on but i though nothing of it. I woke up this morning to find a splodge of blood on my pillow case - I'm not in any pain at all but my ear feels a tad blocked but I can hear out of it just fine.

Thank you!

Answers:

You can still hear, so it did not break.
You might have scratched something when cleaning your ear.
Try the next time to not go in too fat with the swab.



No but don't push so far in with the bud next time you don't want to damage your ear.



no, if you burst your eardrum it would HURT ALOTT!! and it would have made alot of noise when you burst it. like BOOM!!
