i was combing my hair with a rat tail comb and i slipped and the tail end of the comb went right into my left ear. it hurt initially but not so much now. when i pinch my nose to pop it, it's just straight air out my left ear. i can hear out my right ear but the left side sounds like it's clogged. it's not bleeding though. did i rupture my eardrum or is it just irritated?

If you ruptured you eardrum it would hurt very bad. If you can fill air coming out of your ear then you should go to a Dr.to see whats wrong.You may need medicine to help it heal.

Go to the doctor!
If you ruptured your eardrum it can get infected. If you didn;t you should still have the ear canal checked for damage.
Meanwhile, keep it dry - no hair washing or sticking head in shower.

I would have it checked by the doctor just to make sure. You would hate to lose your hearing in that ear. Get it taken care of.
