i ruptured my ear drum 4 days ago from wakeskating and was wondering if anyone has had this happen also. i just thought it was an ear ache til it started bleeding today after my second to last set(blood in my ear couldnt stop me from taking a few more runs) ive been riding a lot everyday for 9 days straight but now im going to have to stop for a bit. im going to miss shasta

that sucks man, you should go to the doctor if you havent yet. I know a girl who did that wakeboarding. they patched her up and she healed up in a resonable amount of time.

-=AlexXx=-, not at all. go visit a doctor and get some painkillers, trust me on that. it will take around two weeks before you can get into the water again.

that happened to me too. i fell trying wake to wake stuff and it just felt like water in my ear. i still rode for a few days and then it finally went away like a week later. i dont think it was really bad or anything but it hurt a lot. just drink a lot of fluids that seemed to help me.

I have gotten water in my ear many a times, A word of advice:
When you get home from skating and you feel you have water in your ear and you can't get it out, get a bottle of pure alcohol put a couple drops of it into the ear. The alcohol breaks through the water and gets below it, then tip your head over the sink, or paper towel and the water and alcohol will come out like budda.

I busted my eardrum, constant loud ringing, blood and puss oozing out.
It sucked. it took a month and a half to heal, and even still it wasn't back to normal.
