Today, while giving a speech at work, I started sneezing. After what seemed to be the last sneeze, I went on talking. Apparently it wasn't, and I blew out my eardrum. FML

at least you didn't shoot out a snot-rocket.

I think a snot rocket would be better than blowing out an eardrum.

Not sure about "foreign objects" but you can pop a blood vessel or break a rib from holding it in. Or so I heard…

yea i heard its really bad to hold your sneezes i have tried and it hurts

Look on the bright side, at least you didn't fart either. That happens to some people when they sneeze a lot.

I'm more interested in how you did that? Must have been some major sneeze to create enough pressure in your ear to blow your eardrum. It takes a lot to do that.

I know that feel bro I've popped a rib from sneezing and also given myself a concussion. Fyl indeed
