IS YOUR EARDRUM BURST??
IS YOUR EARDRUM BURST??
In our ear we have external and internal ear chambers. They are separated by a membrane known as tympanic membrane or eardrum. There are many reason for our eardrum or tympanic membrane can be tear off or affected– · Imbalance of air pressure on both side of the tympanic membrane.
· Pressure of fluid remains in internal ear chambers.
· Heavy blow or injury by hard objects of external origin.
Some reason why there imbalance of air pressure on your eardrums occur-
· Trauma or injury to ear by punch or slap
· Sound pollution by Bomb blast
· Perforation by fluids of ear
· Syringing
· Caloric test
Your eardrum can be tears off by foreign particles. If any foreign particle enters into ear from outside or there any attempt is not taken to remove it that will bring harm to ear.
What should be the treatment
Usually the tympanic membrane of your ear heals spontaneously. Any treatment does not require. Treatment is given when- · There is any destruction of tissues in membrane.
· Spreading of remaining infection. The membrane can be attached by a minor operation.
Not only perforation but also other problem may arise due to injury or trauma. They are-
· Displacement of any bone remains in our middle ear.
· Hazards of internal ear.
Any discomforting sound in chambers of ear Injury or harm to facial nerve.
Doctor will place a knife when he operates the Myringotomy surgery in your eardrums. Don’t panic, it’s just done for inflammation of middle ear and prevention of deafness due to fluid accumulation. Auto logist will place some air-button named GROMET to activate the perforation for definite duration.
But we should not bring hazards to our eardrums by silly reason. In case of 10% the tympanic membrane does not heal and mercy of fate that maximum people leads infection and deafness. Due to social, familial environment and also we have tendency to punish our body by carelessness, the number of deafness is not decreasing.
