Is it possible to bust your eardrum from sneezing?

Question: I never listen to loud music; I work a white collar job, with little noise. I woke up, last week, with blood on my pillow, and a major earache. I have no idea how it happened. Now I am taking antibiotics, and pain killers. The doctor says I have a lot of scar tissue on both ears. How?

Answers:
You must of had a cold/allergies? Maybe even a upper respiratory infection or sinus infection. The scar tissue must have been from childhood. Maybe you had ear problems as a child. Some ppl rupture their eardrum caused from fluid on the eardrum. The blood comes from when the eardrum ruptures. Be sure and keep a dry ear.

Other Answers:
Yes it is indeed! If you have an ear infection you can indeed bust the ear drum by sneezing. As for the scar tissue, it is because you have had frequent ear infections as a child.
