Patient Words
After living with a perforated eardrum for a long time, I came to Medicover Hospitals and was quickly recommended for surgery by Dr Rajendra Waghela. The entire process was seamless. I was admitted and had my operation just one day later. The professional staff and the high standards of cleanliness really stood out. Everyone, from the doctors to the nursing team, provided quality hospitality and care. I am incredibly satisfied with my successful recovery and the specialized ENT services I received here.
What is a Perforated Eardrum?
A perforated eardrum, medically known as a tympanic membrane perforation, is a hole or tear in the thin tissue that separates the outer ear canal from the middle ear. This condition can interfere with normal hearing and make the middle ear more susceptible to repeated infections. While minor perforations may heal naturally over time, long-standing or large perforations often require medical intervention.
Common causes of a perforated eardrum include:
- Repeated or severe middle ear infections (otitis media)
- Injury or trauma to the ear
- Sudden loud noises or pressure changes
Typical symptoms may include:
- Reduced or muffled hearing
- Ear discharge (clear, pus-like, or bloody)
- Occasional ear pain or discomfort
- Ringing sensation in the ear (tinnitus)
