ruptured ear drum
A ruptured (perforated) eardrum is a tear or a hole in your eardrum (tympanic membrane), the thin membrane that separates your ear canal from your middle ear. This membrane vibrates when sound waves strike it, starting the process of converting sound waves into nerve impulses that travel to your brain. Damage to your eardrum interrupts the hearing process and may impair your hearing.
The eardrum also acts as a barrier to keep outside material, such as bacteria, from entering your middle ear. When your eardrum is ruptured, bacteria can more easily reach your middle ear and cause infection.
A variety of factors can cause a ruptured eardrum. These include a prior infection, injury and noise. Most ruptured eardrums heal within a few weeks
Signs and symptoms
A ruptured eardrum can be painful, particularly at first. Signs and symptoms may include:Sharp, sudden ear pain or discomfort
Clear, pus-filled or bloody drainage discharge from your ear
Some mild hearing loss or ringing in your ear
Seek medical care if you have pain or swelling in your ear or drainage from your ear. Discharge of blood or pus may be a sign that your eardrum has ruptured. See your doctor immediately if you develop fever or headache, or if the pain in your ear becomes severe.

It could have messed up something inside your ear. Go to the doctor or ER stat. Bleeding from the ears is on their high priority list.

i think you should see an EENT (Ears,Eyes,nose, and throat doctors) doctor to have your ears checked, you might be suffering from hyperacusis too much sensitivity to sound, however have you taken med such as other drugs?, have you hurted your ear drum while trying to clean it? these are just the factors that might cause it. if you really wanna know, I adviced you to seek for a real professional doctors advice.
