Ruptured Eardrum treatment in Benito Juárez

Perforation or rupture of the eardrum is an injury to the thin membrane that separates the ear canal from the middle ear. It can be caused by infections, abrupt pressure changes, very intense noises, or the insertion of objects into the ear.

Common causes: middle ear infections, trauma, pressure variations during flights or diving, and exposure to explosive sounds.

Common symptoms: ear pain that subsides suddenly, decreased hearing, ringing, or fluid drainage through the ear canal.

When to see a doctor? If you notice hearing loss, pain, or discharge after an infection or a blow, it is advisable to have an otolaryngologist examine the ear. This specialist is the one who evaluates the condition of the eardrum and provides guidance on the most appropriate care for each person.
