What Are the Treatments for a Perforated Eardrum?
A perforated eardrum is a hole or rupture in your eardrum. This will not allow proper transfer of sound to the middle ear and will cause hearing problems. This can also lead to ear pain, pus-like discharge and sounds in your ear. Your eardrum can perforate with a middle ear infection. This happens due to fluid building up behind the eardrum. The eardrum can also rupture with loud noise or with insertion of buds and pins to clean the ear. Rapid pressure changes while flying can also perforate the eardrum. The ruptured eardrum should heal spontaneously. If not, it has to be repaired to prevent infections and to restore your hearing.
