I put an Followup to Cliff`s reply telling how it happened.
I would like to add this:
I think I created a sort of vacuum(?) while pulling out the finger, so that I moved the tympanic membrane and the bones behind it. I don`t know why but the malleus (first bone behind the membrane) broke.
The docs I went to said that this is nearly impossible to happen. But - I would recommend not to do anything with your ears...
