Do not stick anything into your ear, if you have a ruptured eardrum. This can cause damage or promote a serious infection.

How is the eardrum damaged by the loud noise?

A ruptured or perforated eardrum is exactly what you might imagine: a tear or hole in the eardrum - the part of the ear that vibrates in response to sound waves. Eardrum injuries can be extremely painful and, in the worst cases, might lead to infections and hearing loss. THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN FOUND ON KIDSHEALTH.COM .. si habla espanol.

How can you burst an eardrum?

Too much pressure can rupture an eardrum. For example, I ruptured my brother's eardrum many years ago with one of those pool noodles. We were fighting with them in the pool and I smacked him in the side of the head with it. The force of impact directly over his ear created enough pressure inside of his ear cavity to actually rupture his eardrum. Another thing that can rupture/burst an eardrum is simply sticking something that doesn't belong inside of your ear too deep, physically puncturing the eardrum. Although eardrums can burst, they can also heal. However, the older you get, the more difficult it becomes for your body to repair an eardrum.
