Bit weird question here, but I know that when you get blood in your eyes, you can get blind, but if you got blood in your ear, can you get deaf?

So yeah, it's a bit weird question, but to make it shorter. If you get blood in your ear, are there any consequences (like becoming deaf)?

[jmr2191]

Technically, yes. When blood isn't where it's supposed to be, it can disrupt normal function. In the ear, it could also cause auditory hallucinations. Usually, when such an issue with blood happens (e. g. stroke in auditory cortex or other infarction or clot), there's an underlying physiology that if caught early, can more than likely be treated.

I just had a wound in my ear that started bleeding again. Hit a low wall in the attic with it. I tried to stop the bleeding, but noticed that some blood went into my ear. Kinda could remove it though.

[jmr2191]

I wouldn't be concerned about something like that. Sounds like the bleeding stooped, the wound is healing and you'll be fine.

Yeah already thought it probably wouldn't harm me, but just thought i should ask to be sure.

holy shit blood in your eyes can make you go blind? now im scared:P

[DragonWolf]

Yes it can, thats why i wanted to know if this could also have consequences

No.. it would take damage to your eardrum /inner ear to become deaf. I doubt blood or liquids that aren't acidic would cause many problems other than some irritation.

Oke thank you =)

I honestly don't think so unless it clogs the ear, and blocks nerves from being sent through the audio nerve that translates noise to sound in your brain. But otherwise I don't think so

[DragonWolf]

Oke thank you =)

[toutatis]

not really.

I'm glad it doesn't :)
