What are the symptoms of a ruptured eardrum? How to treat

A ruptured eardrum is also a kind of trauma to the eardrum. If not treated in time, it will cause hearing dysfunction in the ear. Because many people do not know the symptoms of a ruptured eardrum, they miss the best time for treatment. Generally, the most obvious symptom of a ruptured eardrum is ear pain.

1. Earache. When the patient's eardrum is ruptured, the patient will feel ear pain throughout the day and may even experience bleeding.

2. Hearing loss. When the patient's eardrum ruptures, the patient will experience hearing loss and unclear hearing.

3. Tinnitus. A ruptured eardrum can cause tinnitus in children, and there will often be a buzzing sound in the ears.

4. Feeling of being closed off. When the eardrum ruptures, the patient will experience a feeling of blockage in the ear, causing discomfort in the ear.

5. Bleeding from the ear canal. A ruptured eardrum can cause a small amount of bleeding in the patient's ear and can also cause the patient to experience dizziness and nausea.

6. Treatment of tympanic membrane perforation should be targeted at the cause: small perforations caused by trauma can be observed for one or two months and may heal on their own. If the perforation is large and caused by trauma, surgical repair is required. For tympanic membrane perforation caused by suppurative otitis media, the pus in the middle ear can be sucked out for small perforations, and then medication can be used for treatment. If there is a large perforation, surgical repair is required.

7. The principle of tympanoplasty is to use an otoscope to carefully examine ear lesions. One of the keys to ensuring the safety of the operation is to fully expose the surgical field of view and use ear microscopy technology to locate lesions deep and hidden in the ear, which can effectively reduce the difficulty and risk of treatment. Under the guidance of an otoscope and an otoscope, tympanoplasty is performed to treat tympanic membrane perforation.
