Hi...
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...

As per your complain pain and bleeding from ear while deep pushing of the q-tip that has also led to hearing loss partially seems to be due to Perforation of the ear drum..
You should consult an Otolaryngologist and get an Otoscopic examination done to rule out the exact level of injury..
In case of small perforation the Physician can advise you antibiotics like Augmentin, Anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, decongestants Oral and nasal etc
In case of larger perforation surgical correction has to be done..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
