Perforated Eardrum
A perforated eardrum occurs when there is a tear or hole in the tympanic membrane, often caused by infection, trauma, or sudden pressure changes. Symptoms include hearing loss, pain, and discharge. Treatment can range from observation to surgical repair, depending on the severity of the perforated eardrum.
