Perforated Eardrum
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A perforated eardrum is a rupture or hole in the thin membrane that separates the outer ear from the middle ear, which plays a role in hearing.
Frequent symptoms: It can cause ear pain that suddenly subsides, decreased hearing, ringing, drainage of fluid, and, at times, a sensation of dizziness.
Common causes: It is related to ear infections, sudden pressure changes, very intense noises, or the insertion of objects into the ear canal.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the appropriate professional to assess a perforated eardrum, and the general practitioner can guide the initial visit. With ear pain accompanied by hearing loss or fluid drainage, seeking a professional evaluation is advisable.
