I'm really unsure about something since my surgery last year to remove a cholesteatoma from my middle ear. I've gotten the all clear from the disease, but I haven't had a follow-up hearing test yet. I'm curious if it's safe for me to use headphones or earphones now. Any advice on that?

View allI've been using a qtip to clean my ear, and after I took it out, I noticed some bleeding. Does this mean I might've ruptured my eardrum? Should I be worried about how serious it is? Everything seems normal otherwise, like there's no pain, dizziness, and my hearing is as usual. Just wondering if I should get it checked out.
that could be because of dryness or you might be having Dns or so..visit your ENT doctor for evaluation otherwise as the quantity is negligibke you can forget about it,stay hydrated.

I've been feeling like something's crawling in my ear for about a week now, but theres nothing actually there. I haven't been in a place where this could happen. It all kicked off when I had a cold and a runny nose. When I was clearing my nose, I felt pressure releasing from my ear too, which Ive never experienced before. Since then, my ear's just felt weird. Sometimes at night, I wake up because it feels like something's moving in my ear. It's happened a couple of times. Could this be something to worry about?
Do not worry, visit you ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
