Hello,
The most common causes are like:
1. Trauma
2. Acute suppurative otitis media
3. Tympanic membrane perforation
4. Glomus tumor
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid object insertion into ear, avoid water entry into the ear. Please get it done ear examination done through endoscopy by ENT specialist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
