I got hit in the head two months ago by someone that ruptured my eardrum. is it normal for it to still hurt, especially if there is any wind it hurts ?

Wind induced pain: suggests that your rupture was quite large and has not healed, leaving an opening into the middle ear that is admitting air and causing pain. You should see a provider (preferably an ENT) for an exam because a small rupture should have healed in two months. Good luck!
