So I woke this morning, and something felt wonky. My ear seemed clogged, and my hand came away bloody. There was blood on the outer ear and I could hardly hear anything (the other ear was ok though). It didn't hurt, but had clearly bled a decent amount. I figure my eardrum has burst.
I found out my ear specialist was on holiday, but after a bit of digging I found one who could give me an appointment at 2:20 this afternoon.
Turns out it was just a small blood vessel which had burst (caused by the tube drain in that ear). The loss of hearing was from clotted blood. Unpleasant, but not nearly as bad as feared. Hering's still a bit messed up.
