My eardrum rupture was amazing. Would recommend :)
Not so much “fun” as “blessed relief”. I picked up some sort of nasty flu in Mexico in about 2005, and my eustachian tubes got blocked for a few weeks, resulting in an ear infection with pressure building up behind the eardrum in one of my ears.
When that drum finally burst I felt so much better. It was a sharp pain, and it was a bit gross, but so much better…
Pseudoephedrine did nothing for me (it usually works great) and it took a a course of co-amoxiclav to finally clear up the infection.
- mattmaroon 3y agoAh, my pressure buildup happened in a few hours and it did suck. The rupture was more scary (literally hearing my ear explode) than painful, but the process after was really awful. I could barely stand at one point and even a year later I have bad tinnitus and some (thankfully minor) hearing loss.
