Scratched ear canal: Probably you just scratched your ear canal. This will bleed a little, but should heal in a day or 2. If the bleeding continues or you have pain or trouble hearing, see a doctor. Usually best not to put any object in your ear. Good luck!

Injury to ear canal.: Best to have doctor check it out.Do not put things in your ear canal. Remember nothing smaller than your elbow in your ear.
