What is an ear?
An ear is an sensory organ of the body. It helps us to hear sound. The ear is composed of the external ear (which is visible) and the internal ear. The external ear or the pinna is a flap of cartilagenous skin that aids in the collection and direction of sound waves into the inner ear. The inner ear has several parts which is beyond the scope of this answer but the main parts are the cochlea, vestibule and the ear drum. Sound waves directed inwards fall on the ear drum and then are carried inwards in the form of vibrations that the cochlea and the vestibule conduct onwards to the brain through special auditory nerves and hence there is perception of speech.

Mastoid SkinThe bone in that area is called the Mastoid, which is actually part of a bigger bone called the Temporal bone, which in turn is part of the skull.

Does a burst ear drum hurt?
A burst eardrum is when the thin flap of skin in your ear leading towards your cochlea vibrates too much and tears, this causes the liquid from your cochlea to flow out of your ear, this can be very painful and lead to not being able to work out which way up you are as the liquid inside your cochlea tells you what way up you are by settling.

What is a perforated ear drum?
inside your ear canal there is a flap of extremely thin skin, if a sound gets too loud (and in some cases when it is too high pitched) it vibrates so much that it can start to get small holes in it. As there is liquid in your cochlea, that can, sometimes in extreme conditions, leak out through the ear canal. This can be extremely painful.

What happens when a water bump on a dogs ear?
I am assuming that you are talking about a Hematoma which is a build up of blood just below the skin on the outside of the dog's ear flap. This is usually caused by a trauma to the ear flap, such as shaking their head and hitting it on something. The only way this can be treated is to take your Dog in to be checked by your Veterinarian. He will sedate the dog and make several incisions to the ear flap in order to drain out the blood, then suture it back flat. This is a very simplified version.
