It transmits  sounds from the air to the middle ear by converting and amplifying vibration in  air andprotects the middle ear from infections or foreign objects entering. An  eardrum rupture is a tear\/scratch in this thin skin.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"#\" title=\"What causes an eardrum  rupture?\">What causes an eardrum  rupture?<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3>Ear infection<\/h3>\n<p>An infection in the middle ear  itself is a cause for an eardrum rupture. Pressure buildups inside the ear due  to the infection, and then pushes and perforates the eardrum.<\/p>\n<h3>Head injury<\/h3>\n<p>A sudden and forceful blow on  the head due to a fall or an accident could give unexpected pressure affecting  the eardrum.<\/p>\n<h3>Barotrauma<\/h3>\n<p>This is the condition when the  pressure outside the ear is not equal to the pressure inside the ear. This  could happen for travellers in airplane, or scuba divers.<\/p>\n<h3>Exposure to loud noise<\/h3>\n<p>Sudden loud blast of an  explosive, music, thundering, fire-crackers, etc. give large amount of pressure  at once to the eardrum and ruptures it. <\/p>\n<h3>Poking the ear with an external object<\/h3>\n<p>It is very common that we  attempt to poke an object (pin, or cotton buds) inside the ear to clear the wax  that irritates. These foreign objects can easily damage the eardrum.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"#\" title=\"How is a ruptured eardrum  treated?\">How is a ruptured eardrum  treated?<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameetkishore.com\/dr-ameet-kishore-best-ent-surgeon-india-ent-specialist-delhi-india.html\" title=\"ENT specialists in India\">ENT specialists in India<\/a> diagnose a perforated eardrum through an \u2018otoscopic exam\u2019  \u2013 physically examining the ear using an instrument that produces a bright  light.Not all ruptured eardrums need treatments and the majority of them heal  within 2-3 months. Your doctor may prescribe few antibiotic and painkiller medications  or eardrops, clear the ear canal if wax or drainage have accumulated and clean  it if the site is infected. An \u2018audiology test\u2019 is also performed to check if  the eardrum rupture has resulted in hearing loss. Impaired hearing is temporary  and returns normal when rupture heals.<\/p>\n<p> In more severe cases, <strong>ENT specialists in India <\/strong>place a patch  over the ruptured eardrum. If it requires a further repair, a minor procedure  is performed on an outpatient basis. This is a simple surgery to fix a tiny  piece of tissue in place of ruptured skin, which only takes a few hours. At  this instance the healing process is little longer and you should strictly  follow the doctor\u2019s instructions on continuing the medications, avoiding cold  air, refraining from blowing your nose, etc.<\/p>\n<p> Eardrum rupture is not an  issue to worry about \u2013 consult our best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ameetkishore.com\/blog\/ent-specialist-india-best-ent-specialist-india-hearing-loss-ear-infections-dizziness-vertigo-disorder\/\" title=\"ENT  specialists in India\">ENT  specialists in India<\/a> for the best and effective treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Experienced a sudden earache or a sharp pain in the ear that disappeared suddenly and now feeling \u2018something is not right inside the ear\u2019?
