Perforated eardrum

Post by JLtheDrone » Tue Jun 30, 2015 7:27 pm

I injured my eardrum this morning and the urgent care doc believes I broke my eardrum. I have an appointment with the ENT tomorrow to find out for sure. Anyone had experience with using their Cpap while having ear pain? I don't want to make things worse but I won't be able to sleep without my machine.

If you already damaged the ear drum, I don't know whether the CPAP pressure would do any further harm. If you are going to use the unit you might lower your pressure a little.
