Ruptured Eardrum Causes and Complications

  A burst or ruptured eardrum—also called a perforated eardrum or tympanic membrane perforation—is a hole or tear in the tissue that separates the ear canal from the middle ear. The eardrum vibrates in response to sound and starts the process of translating sound waves into nerve impulses. It also acts as a barrier to protect the eardrum from water, bacteria, and foreign objects. Common causes include ear infections, very loud noises, severe head trauma, sudden changes in air pressure, and putting foreign objects in the ear canal. A ruptured eardrum may repair itself within a few weeks, but sometimes surgery is necessary. If left untreated, it can lead to chronic ear infections, middle ear cysts, and hearing loss. 

If you would like to learn about different ways of protecting yourself from the many perils that can threaten your hearing abilities, we invite you to ask the people who know, the people who have your best interests at heart. Don’t put it off any longer. If you think your hearing abilities are less than they once were,  call us at  to see what we can do for you. Between our commitment to your well-being and our dedicated staff, your hearing is in good hands. We offer special discounts and promotions to veterans, police officers, and firefighters.

P.S. To help protect your eardrums, treat ear infections right away, use pressure-equalizing ear plugs during airline travel, wear ear protection when exposed to loud noises, and don’t put anything smaller than your finger in your ear.
