So say something to them.

Oh god.... I once ruptured my ear drum.... I was screaming in pain.... And to have someone making you feel like shit is way worse... I'm so sorry :(

My left ear drum ruptured and formed into a cyst. I had four painful surgeries. Go to the doctor sng get your ear checked out, you dont want surgery.

When your eardrum ruptures, you don't automatically lose your hearing. Trust me, I've had ear problems all of my life, my ear drum rupturing every time I get an ear infection being one. However, even then, that doesn't give your family the right to talk about you behind your back. That truly sucks. Maybe pound their face in next time?

one ear is deaf your family are morons

Use it to your advantage! "Hello Brother. Father told me what you said about me." etc. :)

oh this is so perfect, you can eavesdrop without any effort and then use the recently acquired details to get back at them...(evil laugh)
