Poking the eardrum with an ear pick can heal on its own if no infection develops. However, if a secondary infection develops, it usually does not heal on its own and requires aggressive treatment. When the eardrum is poked with an ear digger, symptoms such as bleeding, loud booming, ringing in the ears, ear pain, and hearing loss can occur. If you can keep the ear canal dry, keep water out of the ear to prevent inducing infection, and do not pinch and puff to increase the pressure on the eardrum, it will usually heal naturally in about 2 months. If the ear does not heal on its own for a long time, you will need to seek medical treatment. In addition, if the eardrum is infected after the digging spoon has pierced it, and if the pain is worse, pus is flowing, or if the rupture is larger, the eardrum should be treated with oral antibiotics such as amoxicillin under medical supervision, and if necessary, tympanic membrane repair surgery. If the above symptoms occur after digging the ear and an eardrum puncture is suspected, an ear endoscopy can be performed at the ENT department.
