I definitely damaged my fucking ear drum

[KillahBee]

you could have some scar tissue in there or a perforated ear drum. why dont you go get it looked at genius?

How great would it be if the solution to the scar tissue was to massage it with a paper clip??

I highly suggest you take matters into your own hand and give it a shot.

if it "popped" and you can hear again. . .then you just have a fluid build up behind your ear drum. . .allergies or a sinus infection have caused your eustachion (sp?) tube to swell shut which causes fluid retention. . .doubtful that it has anything to do with the paper clip. . .

Can't I just scrape it out?

Are you an ear specialist...?
I understand you want to be self-sufficient here, but if you want this to not get possibly more fucked up....do the smart-er thing.....see a doc.

My running mate is on the money here. Go see an ENT for heaven's sake.

I'm inclined to lean towards some funky latent infection. Staph. comes to mind, that shit can hang around for frigging years, just sort of be there and periodically flare up then calm down, all it takes is a break in the skin and the right conditions and you've got it and you're not necessarily going to get any sort of discharge or fever.

If you had punctured your eardrum at some point, you would have known it, my husband did it once, it hurts like a motherfucker and then you can, literally (if you smoke) blow smoke out of your ear for a while.
