Suggest Remedies For Bleeding Through Ears While Wearing Hearing Aid

I wear a hearing aid (past 5 years), yesterday I had blood start flowing from my ear and continued to bleed all night and today. What could be the cause and what can I do to stop it? Should I lean so it cant flow out or should I lay where it can flow freely?

HI
You need to have a doctor evaluate this right away
It could be a laceration in the ear canal or even a perforated eardrum and under no circumstances should you try to treat it by yourself
I find this answer helpful
