I've got tonsillitis, and i've had it a few times, every time i get it my ear drum makes this weird ass popping noise and begins to bleed, i'm on a course of antibiotics but wtf is going on?
Pressure in the sinuses and/or bacterial infection of the ears can cause them to pop. It is fairly common for sinus or ear infections, and should hurt (after, your ear drum is basically being ruptured by pressure). Tonsilitis seems an odd cause of it, but I presume it has also infected your sinuses and ear cavity. I do not know if it can be stopped, but it can eventually damage hearing if you are above a certain age when the ear drum stops repairing itself as well. My recommendation would be to see a doctor who may be able to give you specific antibiotics targeted at your sinuses, but you can't go wrong with using painkillers and following their instructions. I am not a doctor by the way, I just vaguely remember reading something about this; there's plenty of information about it online if you type something like 'burst eardrum' into google.
sorry for taking ages to respond. I'm not a doctor, so see a doctor. I don't think you would completely lose hearing, and noticable degradation of hearing is probably uncommon. Try not to stress about it too much, but do see a doctor.
