Ruptured Eardrum
Hi due to major fall, I am suffering a ruptured eardrum. I could feel the numbness and could feel wind coming out while tapping the nose and blowing the breathe through right ear. However, I could hear and also listen to music and audio. What do you think I should do?

Assume you have been diagnosed by an ENT surgeon confirming the rupture. Treatment plan depends on the size of the rupture. If small can heal spontaneously. But needs monitoring by an ENT specialist.
Next Steps
Avoid blowing nose & keep ear dry. See an ENT if not done for proper evaluation.
