Needs eval.: cannot say in your particular case, but generally, a structure that has broken is never again as strong. Deformation of the ears predisposes to more likely repeat problems with less cause needed to produce it.

Get Checked: Hi CourtneyS, You've been having problems with your ears for quite sometime. It isn't likely that the perforations have healed over that timeframe and are probably still present. With banging your head and hearing a pop sound, that could represent a signficant problem for your ear. I suggest you get it checked out and see an ENT specialist. You probably need a hearing test, too.
