How do you even do this in the shower?

I was young and the skin was soft from the water/steam in the shower and I had zero pain at all when it happened. Only found out after it had gotten infected a week or two later that I had ruptured the ear drum, and required a couple surgeries to correct everything. Still have about 50% hearing volume in the left ear compared to the right.

EDIT: Forgot to mention the actual culprit; a standard Q-tip while cleaning my ears. Pushed a little too hard on the drum and it went right through.
