What is Tympanic Membrane Perforation?
Ear drum is a membranous oval shaped structure which separates external ear from the middle ear. It is a vital part of healthy hearing, and it vibrates when struck by the sound waves. These sound vibrations are then conducted via three ear bones (ear ossicles) to the cochlea (inner ear). From inner ear sound is travelled via hearing nerve to the brain.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is a hole or tear in the eardrum, which can affect hearing and allow infection into the middle ear.
Common causes include ear infections, injury, loud noise, sudden pressure changes (like flying or diving), or inserting objects into the ear.
Symptoms include ear pain, hearing loss, fluid discharge, ringing in the ear, or sometimes dizziness.
Small perforations often heal on their own. Larger or persistent ones may need a surgical repair called tympanoplasty.
See an ENT if you have ear pain, drainage, or sudden hearing loss after an injury or infection.
