Brief Answer:
Trauma ear.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Thanks for putting up the query.

The ear pain can be due to the effect of sudden sound exposure or some injury to the drum.

Please tell me do you have any history of bleeding from the ear?
is the pain still there or it has subsided?

Follow up with the required information so that I can suggest you better.

Take care.

Thanks and regards,
Dr. Priyanka Aggarwal, ENT Specialist
