A member asked:

Lessons learned: Going "too deep" can be dangerous, whether it be in the ear canal or the Eire Canal. If the pain is just due to abraded skin in the ear canal, that heals up fine in most cases, and is the more likely scenario. If one poked a hole in her eardrum, that's less likely but generally still heals up. For pain that is "killing me," a visit to the ER or one's doctor is needed.
