A perforated eardrum, commonly referred to as a burst eardrum, occurs when the thin tissue deep in the ear canal ruptures, resulting in ear pain and temporary hearing loss.
This delicate layer serves to shield the vulnerable middle and inner ear from external factors. Seeking immediate medical advice is crucial to assess potential damage and infection. In more severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to repair the ruptured membrane.
At Boots Hearingcare, we delve into the symptoms, causes, and treatments for a perforated eardrum, emphasising our commitment to comprehensive ear health awareness.
