If the ear drum is in danger of rupturing from the pressure, a doctor can place tubes in the ear surgically to relieve the pressure. This still puts a small hole in the ear drum, but it has clean edges and is smaller so it has a much better chance of healing well.
There isn't anything you can do at home about this, however.

Why should you not poke anything in your ear?
Because it hurts and it breaks your eardrum when something such as a stick goes in your ear
How do ear drum breaks?
An eardrum can break due to loud noises, sudden changes in pressure, infection, or trauma. When the eardrum ruptures, it can cause pain, ear drainage, and hearing loss. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect a ruptured eardrum.
What protects the eardrum from dirt?
The ear canal, earwax, and surrounding hair help protect the eardrum from dirt and debris. These physical barriers prevent foreign bodies from reaching and damaging the delicate eardrum.
Can you sue a doctor for rupturing your eardrum?
Yes, of course you can. Doctors have a liability to protect you from damage and harm that may occur in the doctors office. The first thing you should do would be to talk to the doctor himself, make sure it was his/her fault, and then consult with an attorney.
If bacteria living in salty seawater were displaced to a freshwater environment the cell structure that would prevent the cells from rupturing is?
The cell wall would prevent the cells from rupturing in a freshwater environment. The cell wall provides structural support and helps maintain cell shape and integrity in different osmotic conditions.
How are aneurysms treated?
There are two ways, you can either get it treated to prevent rupturing, or have an emergency treatment where an aneurysm is repaired after it is ruptured. Preventative treatment is more preferred.
What is a human tube?
This is the tube that connects the ear with the throat. Its function is to equalize air pressure on both sides of the eardrum to keep the eardrum from rupturing and to reduce pain that may be felt when air pressure is reduced. When a person yawns or swallows, the eustachian tube opens, and some of the air in the middle ear may pass into the throat, adjusting the pressure in the middle ear to match the pressure in the outer ear.
Does a busted eardrum fix itself?
A busted eardrum can sometimes heal on its own, depending on the severity of the injury. It is important to see a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment to prevent any complications and to help in the healing process. In some cases, surgery may be needed to repair a ruptured eardrum.
Can you perforate your eardrum with a QTip?
Yes, inserting a QTip too deeply into your ear can potentially cause damage to your eardrum, leading to perforation. It's best to avoid putting anything smaller than your elbow into your ear to prevent such injuries.
What is water capacity to resist rupturing due to presence of hydrogen bonding is called?
Water's capacity to resist rupturing due to the presence of hydrogen bonding is called cohesion. This property allows water molecules to stick together, forming a high surface tension that helps prevent the rupture of water droplets.
How is the nose ear and tongue connected?
The nasal cavity and inner ear are connected through the Eustachian tubes, small mucus-lined tubes that help to stabilized air pressure in the inner ear to prevent the eardrum from rupturing. When you fly and your ears "pop", it is the Eustachian tubes that have opened up to allow the air pressure in the inner ear to equilibrate with the ambient air pressure. The tongue is in the oral cavity, which communicates with the nasal cavity at the back of the throat.
What is the cell structure that would prevent a cells from rupturing?
The cell membrane is the structure that prevents a cell from rupturing. It acts as a barrier that regulates the passage of molecules in and out of the cell, maintaining its internal environment. The cell membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins that provide structural support and control the movement of substances.
