Hi,

Bleeding while cleaning indicates trauma due to the instrument that you are using. Well as you say, you can hear, tympanic membrane which is the most sensitive part is probably spared from the trauma. If your other ear is not functioning well, you have to care for your other ear which is precious at the moment for hearing.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
