Perforation of tympanic membrane, unspecified - what does this mean
Perforation of the tympanic membrane, also known as a ruptured eardrum, is a tear or hole in the thin tissue that separates the middle ear from the outer ear canal. it can be caused by a bacterial or viral infection, trauma to the ear, or the insertion of foreign objects into the ear canal.
What happens during the disease - perforation of tympanic membrane, unspecified
Perforation of the tympanic membrane, or eardrum, is caused by a sudden increase in pressure in the middle ear, usually due to a bacterial or viral infection, trauma to the ear, or barotrauma from a sudden change in air pressure. this increase in pressure causes the eardrum to rupture, leading to a hole in the membrane. this hole can cause pain, hearing loss, and a discharge of fluid from the ear.
