Did my ear hurt from the hole in the eardrum?

when I was little my eardrum burst and it never completely re-healed. Then a few months ago a got a really bad cold and the hole in my ear got worse. Today I just started using my ipod with those earphones and then my ear started to hurt (the one with the hole in it) could this be because of the hole in my ear? did it make the hole worse? if anyone knows about this stuff please reply!!

Answer #1

If I were you I’d immediately stop putting an earphone in the injured ear. Pain is the body’s way of saying ‘something is wrong !!’ You need to have it checked out by a doctor. You don’t want to lose your hearing in that ear, do you?

Good Luck !!
