    In my last fight I got hit a hook right on the ear and got a very loud ringing noise immediatly which lasted about 4 or 5 hours, doctor told me it wasnt anything serious but I've had alot of fights and this is the first time anything like this has happend

    Anyone else have experiences like this?

    I damaged someone's eardrum in sparring, apparently it's a small hole in the eardrum and in time it will heal. The guy I did it to was back in sparring perhaps two weeks later.

    It isnt sore or anything just had a big effect on the fight more than anything, knocked my equilibrium out for a while, that was my second fight that day, maybe I was tired

    ear drum injuries happening a lot more in the gym than in fights !Headgear forms a airlock over the ear when punched causing the eardrum to burst. No u were not tired this injury does effect ur balance. Have some time off and let it heal
