Answer 1

busted ear drum-GO TO THE HOSPITAL.

Answer 2

Have you been taking an abundance of Aspirin? Did you have the amps turned up loud? My son is a musician, and has played professionally in a band, and sometimes experiences this...he plays the sax next to someone who plays the trumpet. If the pain returns, try a warm washcloth over your ear. If the pain and/or buzzing continue, go see your doctor. You may have an infection, a lot of wax build-up, or other problems brewing.... take care of your hearing...when it's gone, it's gone!

Answer 3

You were playing your drums too loud!

Pain and ringing in the ears is natures way of telling our bodies that something is wrong.

The ringing will go away after a while.

wear ear plugs to protect your hearing.
Most hearing loss occurs when we are in our teens and early 20's, we have a ringing in our ears, and when it goes away we forget.

When working around loud machines, we don't hear the ringing, until we stop.

The ringing eventually goes away.
But as you get older and you continue with loud music/ machines, and not protect your ears with earplugs, you could have long term hearing loss.

what???

Answer 4

You said all of a sudden...that indicates a possible perforation of the eardrum. The tinitus..or ringing in t he eardrum does too. You SHOULD go get it checked out. None of us LIKE to go to the doctor's but your hearing is not something to play around with.
If you are insistent about not going to the doctors tonight being a Sunday and all then I would tell you to use moist heat and stay quiet tonight and stay away from loud moises and no headphones at all.

Answer 5

Damage to the human ear

[edit] Outer ear trauma
The auricle can be easily damaged. Because it is skin-covered cartilage, with only a thin padding of connective tissue, rough handling of the ear can cause enough swelling to jeopardize the blood-supply to its framework, the auricular cartilage. That entire cartilage framework is fed by a thin covering membrane called the perichondrium (meaning literally: around the cartilage). Any fluid from swelling or blood from injury that collects between the perichondrium and the underlying cartilage puts the cartilage in danger of being separated from its supply of nutrients. If portions of the cartilage starve and die, the ear never heals back into its normal shape. Instead, the cartilage becomes lumpy and distorted. Wrestler's Ear is one term used to describe the result, because wrestling is one of the most common ways such an injury occurs. Cauliflower ear is another name for the same condition, because the thickened auricle can resemble that vegetable.

The lobule of the ear (ear lobe) is the one part of the human auricle that normally contains no cartilage. Instead, it is a wedge of adipose tissue (fat) covered by skin. There are many normal variations to the shape of the ear lobe, which may be small or large. Tears of the earlobe can be generally repaired with good results. Since there is no cartilage, there is not the risk of deformity from a blood clot or pressure injury to the ear lobe.

Other injuries to the outer ear occur fairly frequently, but rarely have such permanent consequences. Some of the more common ones include blast injuries from firecrackers and other explosives, and mechanical trauma from placement of foreign bodies into the ear. The ear canal is most often self-traumatized from efforts at ear cleaning. The outer part of the ear canal rests on the flesh of the head; the inner part rests in the opening of the bony skull (called the external auditory meatus). The skin is very different on each part. The outer skin is thick, and contains glands as well as hair follicles. The glands make cerumen (also called ear wax). The skin of the outer part moves a bit if the pinna is pulled; it is only loosely applied to the underlying tissues. The skin of the bony canal, on the other hand, is not only among the most delicate skin in the human body, it is tightly applied to the underlying bone. A slender object used to blindly clean cerumen out of the ear often results instead with the wax being pushed in, and contact with the thin skin of the bony canal is likely to lead to laceration and bleeding

Answer 6

It is okay. Lay down for a couple of hours and it will go away. I have the same thing it effects by sound.

Answer 7

You may have damaged your ear drums. Should be cured by some medicine.

Answer 8

U spelled Emergency wrong. Maybe u DO need a doctor. Ur eardrum is just reacting.

Answer 9

Go to the doctor anyway.

It might be something simple, like a cold or infection that has gotten inside your ear canal somewhere.

But there's lots of other things it could be, too. We can't diagnose and treat you here.

Answer 10

prob noise induced tinnnitus...will result in hearing loss and nothing you can do about it...wear hearing protection in future when doing noisy things.
