Hi doc, i hurt my hear while cleaning it with a earbud and i think i might have damaged my ear drum?

Get checked: If the pain persists for more than 48 hrs and you start to experience hearing loss, see your doctor to make sure that you had not punctured your eardrum. In the meanwhile, cover your ears when showering and do not go underwater.
