Eardrum is also known as Tympanic membrane in medical
language. This is a very main part of our ear, with the help of which we are
able to hear any type of sound. Adinath ENT
Hospital is the best ENT
Hospital in jaipur for Ear, Nose, Throat Treatment.
Eardrum is an active part of our body due to which our
hearing ability is maintained. The ear
curtain is in the middle and the two ear drains are on its right and left, when there is a problem in the ear screen or
a hole is formed, then this situation causes the tearing of the ear screen or
the hole in the ear.
Causes of ruptured
eardrum
Adinath ENT Hospital is the one of the best ent hospital in
jaipur. Every type of sound
produced around us collides with Eardrum in the form of Sound Vibration and
from the Eardrum (Eardrum), turning those Vibrations into Specific Signal . The
function of the earlobes is to convey the signal of sound to the brain. But
when there is a hole in the ear drum due to some reason, then it is not able to
pass the signal of sound to the brain, due to which we are not able to hear
anything. When the doctors see and understand this situation, then they say
that the ear veil has been torn or the ear has been pierced.
A hole in the eardrum is caused by several activities:
A hole caused by putting something in the ear.
Due to injury during sports.
Injuries due to ear drops.
Due to an ear injury while quarreling.
Due to ear or head injuries during a car accident.
Because of listening to songs in a louder voice.
Because of keeping anything in the ear for too long.
Reasons for using the pointed thing when cleaning the ear.
Suddenly hearing a very loud sound like a train horn.
Due to scuba diving.
Because of traveling in aircraft.
Driving at high altitude.

Travel in airplanes.

There are many signs of Eardrum rupture. Some of these
specific reasons are written below:
Having hearing problems.
Severe ear pain.
Feeling of blowing air inside the ear.
Hearing loss
Puss coming from the ear.
Bleeding from the ears.

Diagnosis of ruptured eardrum
After seeing the above symptoms you should see an ENT
Specialist Doctor who will thoroughly examine the ear. With the help of
audiometry, it can be known to what extent it has affected the hearing ability.
Also, it can be known to what extent ear bones have been affected due to
infection.
If nerve damage has occurred, the patient's ability to hear
cannot be recovered even after the operation and in this case the patient may
have to seek hearing aid. With the help of X-ray or Scan, infection is detected
in the bone behind the ear, ie, the mastoid.
Medicine
With the help of medicines, the rupture of the ear is
treated, but if the infection has spread inside the ear, then it is necessary
to do the operation in such a situation.
Myringoplasty
The ear veils are then repaired by this operation. During
this operation, the skin from the scalp above the ear is applied to the hole in
the ear screen.
Tympanometry
It is a device inserted inside the ear that measures the
response of the ear curtain by the slightest change in air pressure. Some
methods of this reaction can check for holes in the eardrum.
Tympanoplasty
Ociculoplasty is required if one or more of the three ear
bones are damaged due to injury or infection. Also, if there is a big hole or
more infection in the ear, then tympanoplasty is done.
Mastoidectomy
In case of chronic suppurative otitis, mastoidectomy is used
to remove bacteria from the bone behind the ear.
Tuning fork
evaluation
It is an instrument with a two-toothed metal that collides
with sounds. Through this diagnosis, it is found out how much difficulty the
patient is having in hearing. Also, with the help of this instrument, it is
also known that the problem of hearing is either in the patient's ear sensor or
in the veins or both.
Treatment of eardrum
Ear curtains are specially treated to repair the curtains,
relieve pain and prevent infection.
Antibiotic medicines
These medicines can remove the infection that is caused by a
hole in the ear curtain. At the same time, these drugs also prevent new
infections from developing. After examining the patient's ear thoroughly, the
doctor may also ask the patient to eat antibiotics or put them in the ear, or
to use both medicines.
Patch
If the patient's ear is not well, the doctor applies a patch
of medicine on the ruptured membrane of the ear which is helpful in attaching
the membrane back.
Surgery
When the condition of the eardrum becomes bad, surgery
remains the only remedy, with the help of which the curtain hole is fixed.
During the surgery, surgeons take a tissue from another place of the patient's
body and apply it to the ear hole.
Risk of eardrum
The ear curtain divides the ear canal and the middle ear. If
it has any kind of problem, the bacteria easily reach the middle ear
(Tympanic), which increases the risk of ear infection. Due to a hole in the ear
curtain, the patient may lose his hearing. Also, dirt, wax and dead skin cells
can be formed in the ear.
Prevention of eardrum
Nowadays ear disease is common and this problem is seen in
most children. Everyone spends most of their time in front of the mobile screen
