Do I have a ruptured eardrum?

I ruptured my eardrum when I was six. You would definitely know if it was ruptured because you'd be screaming due to the pain and there would probably be blood running out of your ear. You most likely have wax build-up in your ear which is causing you to have hearing distortion. I would suggest getting some q-tips and cleaning them out really well. Just make sure not to jam the q-tips too far into your ear canal because then you might just rupture your eardrum. If that doesn't work, then I would suggest going to the doctor. Believe it or not, my brother had some hearing problems when he was younger and they found a piece of plastic in his ear that my sister put in there while he was napping a few years earlier. Gross, I know. All the best!
