Hey there, I would check in with a doctor. An ear that bleeds may be attributed to a few conditions including a ruptured eardrum, an injury or infection.

And a word of advice ... do not become alarmed at a ruptured ear drum. Sometimes that can mean you're on your way to healing. Do you need help finding a doctor in your area?

hey
my boyfriends ear has suddenly started to bleed on his way home could it be that he had his music too loud and has damaged his ear and is it serious he is in quite alot of pain with it but apart fro that he is ok... what do u advise...

Hi ebandted360, It's great you're advocating for a friend by asking questions. And now a few questions for you as bleeding from the ears can be serious... How long has your friend's ear been bleeding? Did it start bleeding following an injury? How often does this bleeding occur? Are there any other symptoms associated with the bleeding, like a fever? If I were you, I would encourage my friend to have it checked out by a doctor, especially if it's related to an injury, has lasted more than five days, is associated with pain, fever or headache and your friend is having issues with hearing.

Your friend's doctor may be able to prescribe drops, antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications.
