Tympanic Membrane

The tympanic membrane, or eardrum, is a thin, cone-shaped layer that separates the outer ear from the middle ear. Comprising three layers, it transmits sound vibrations to the ossicles. Damage or infection can impair hearing. Regular check-ups ensure tympanic membrane health. Treatments are available for tympanic membrane perforations.
