is it normal to feel a clogged feeling and itchy with a perforated ear drum that is healing ?

A perforated eardrum is V painful, but should if R sensible & careful, recover in time.\nThe itching is good, means it's healing.\nYour body may produce extra mucus 2 aid healing & this will make your ear feel full/blocked.\n\nCan U not try a decongestant?  \nWorth a go if it helps eleviate that stuffed-up-head feeling.  \nU take it easy, rest up as much as possible & I hope U feel better soon.

If you hit the eardrum, which it sounds like you might have, it shouldn't be a huge deal. I've done it a million times as a kid. Once in a watergun fight, my friend shot the watergun directly into my ear and I ruptured it that way. I still hear fine. It will normally heal on it's own. The problem however, is infection. Because your ears are naturally bacteria ridden (no matter who you are) and there is only one usual way out, everything will kind of sit next to your eardrum, which is fine, unless your ear drum is ruptured. If it is punctured everything will flow behind your ear drum and gunk it up back there. If the pain gets any worse, or if you get dizzy (any kind of inner ear disturbance will throw off your equilibrium) you should see a doctor immediately. Also, if the pain continues, go see a doctor anyways. Peace of mind is never a bad thing.

Would you please call your family doctor it could be lots of things. From an inner ear issue or worst Please get to some sort of Medical provider. Do not go alone.

I had that happen and the med tech packed it with gauze until I was able to get into the doctor. They told me NOT to introduce anything into it - no peroxide or anything but wait to be seen. The specialist told me that the secretions in your ears naturally kill bacteria and you don;t want to mess with throwing off the balance by killing it with alcohol or peroxide.\n\nI remember it hurt like the dickens...I had a concussion on top of it and vertigo...hope you have some good pain killers and a soft heating pad! Be well!

I burst my eardrum and even when i was told that it was healed, everytime i swam my ear started aching, rather not swim to prevent further damages! If you must then get ear plugs or something that will prevent water splashing into your ear, don't go underwater.

Could be a case of swimmers ear or a fungal infection of some type.  See your doctor to make sure and get treatment.  I know how bothersome this is.

sounds like allergies

Sounds like your cold got "in your ear".  Glad you are seeing the doctor.  You may need antibiotics to clear this up.  If left untreated, it could potentially effect your hearing.  Sounds like you caught it in time.  (No pun intended).  ; )

Sounds like it might be a perilymphatic fistula; which is a rupture of the tissues of the inner ear, and the symptoms are similar to Meniere's.   I also recommend a Neurotologist as your next consultation.

It could be an ear infection or a toothache.  I know it sounds odd, but I had similar pain and it was because I needed a filling!

A doctor can fix it by flushing it(irrigation i think). Feels alot better the next day. Sometimes it is just caused from using qtips believe it or not you should never place them in the ear..go figure..hope this helps you out.

You're either not cleaning your ears properly, as in soap or cotton swabs soaked with peroxide/alcohol, or you've got an infection or possibly it's brain matter leaking out. That's a very distinct possibility since you know it tastes "salty". How else could you know that?\nBesides that, who "itches" the inside of anything? Last I heard you "scratch" an "itch". You don't "itch" an "itch".\n\nMaybe it's that tunafingers smell from your twatwaffle?\n****Besure to report me BEFORE you look at her profile.****\nHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....D.A.!\nMaybe you're just a dirty .....?

Ear Candling is so relaxing it is like sitting by the camp fire and hearing the firwood crackle...very soothing procedure. You have to trust the person doing it or go to someone who has the experience if you have never done this before. \n\nI had really bad allergies and took medication for it til I used the ear candles that cleared mine up for about two years, but I still don't have such bad allergies that I had. Oh and my hearing was so much better and I didn't realize I was so plugged up. My family rather me do it than go to the doctors and have the water used in their ear. I would consult with your doctor before doing such just so they know what you interested in doing and why.

Continue to clean with alcohol and wear hypoallergenic ear posts until they heal.  Healing usually takes place in ten to 14 days.  After the soreness goes away they may itch.  This is normal and signals the healing process is continuing.

I wonder what volume you play your music.. may be the factor..Causes considerable irritation to the nerves you mention with your symptoms.. suggesting you are having a problem that us sub acute and the stress of the music takes it into the acute state.

If you are as fortunate as I was when this problem occurred, you will not suffer from hearing loss.  I sought medical advice due to fairly substantial pain when the eardrum ruptured.  The doctor reassured me that the damage would heal on it's own and that there really was no treatment normally used for this situation.  He was correct; it healed.  It took several weeks before it felt quite normal, but the problem did resolve itself.\n\nI wish you the best of luck.
