suddenly the phone rang and I was startled. I accidentally jabbed it in my ear. Not too far but it kind of hurt a little bit. Then the inside of my ear was all wet, but there wasn't any blood or anything. That was yesterday and I can still hear and all that. My friend told me that it was probably just sweat cause I got scared, and if I really hurt my ear bad, I would already be deaf. And I think he knows 'cause his mom works in the accounting department at a big hospital. But when I was listening to Linkin Park on my I-Pod tonight and when they did that guitar thing that goes like "Vam vam VAM VAMM!!!!" that one ear sort of hurt and is rining a bit. But I can still hear pretty much ok. So first question what was all that wet stuff - was it really sweat? And second question is - is my ear ok? Or do I need a hearing aid?

Your ear will be fine, you won't need a hearing aid. I have no idea what the wet stuff was, I don't think the inside of your ear sweats so you can eliminate that.

It sounds like you "bruised", for lack of a better word, your eardrum. Your ear will produce more earwax, which sounds like your case, to protect itself. This happens after you listen to loud music etc, it's kind of like a cushion for self repair. I would give it a few days to heal itself, if it gets worse go see a doc. You should be fine, just be nice to your ears they are a valuable asset.

It sounds like you may have punctured your ear drum. You need to see a dr. to be safe. Try to avoid getting water in it. I have a punctured ear drum and I can still hear but not as well. There is a possibility if you have a hole that you can end up with meningitis if it gets infected. Please have it checked out to be safe.

As long as you can hear fine and everything, I wouldn't worry about it. Tell your parents, and see what they say. I wouldn't worry about it though. :)
