“My ear drum”
Hi , I have problems with my ear for a few years now , ear infections on and off , my ear feels blocked and muffed all the time , checked for compacted ear wax and there's nothing , I will post pictures of inside my ear, I want to know does my ear drum look normal or do you think its worth booking in with my doctor or getting a referral to ENT specialist?

Your eardrum definitely does not look normal. There may be blood behind it or in your ear canal. I recommend that you see an ENT
All these photos are not very clear. Definitely need to see an ENT who can answer

I don't see any pictures, but if you've had ear problems "for years," why wouldn't you see an ENT doc to get a definitive opinion? If your symptoms are intermittent, it would be best to see him/her when you are having symptom(s), as that facilitates a diagnosis being made.
