Awwww...My eardrum!!!

I've been working in a facility with 6 courts running games so loud whistles are really needed on your court to stop play....Well, my rec league started Saturday...we play at a local JRHS where it's on the main floor....Only one court to worry about.

My first whistle for a violation...I hammered air into the Fox40 and it was tipped toward the left side of my mouth....The piercing sound traveled up my cheek and I think I blew a hole in my eardrum! I cringed when it happened and everything sounded fuzzy out of that ear the rest of the day. Two days later, the fuzzy sound is gone but I feel like I'm in an airplane at
35K feet with the pressure?

In the larger, less noisy gym where I have far less vocal parents, I think I can use a little less air next weekend!

Anybody ever have this happen and how long did it take you to get back to normal? Did you head to the doctor or let it heal on its own?
