Question

An eardrum rupture is a small hole or tear in your eardrum, or tympanic membrane. Ear infections, pressure changes, and injury are common causes of eardrum ruptures. A ruptured eardrum often heals without any invasive treatment but if its not healing other treatment options are used which includes 1) Patching-it involves placing a medicated paper patch over the tear in the membrane. The patch encourages the membrane to grow back together. 2) Antibiotics-It can clear up infections that might have led to your eardrum rupture. They also protect you from developing new infections from the perforation. Prescribtion of oral antibiotics or medicated eardrops are required. 3) Surgery-surgery may be required to patch the hole in the eardrum. A surgical repair of a perforated eardrum is called tympanoplasty. During tympanoplasty, your surgeon takes tissue from another area of your body and grafts it onto the hole in your eardrum.
