Ruptured Eardrum treatment in León

A ruptured eardrum is a perforation of the thin membrane that separates the outer ear from the middle ear and that vibrates with sound. It can occur from infections, sudden pressure changes, very loud noises, or the insertion of objects into the ear.

Signs that are usually described: ear pain that appears and subsides suddenly, decreased hearing, ringing, or discharge from the ear.

When should you seek care? When, after a blow, an infection, or a loud noise, intense pain or changes in hearing are noticed, it is advisable not to delay the review.

Whom should you see? The general practitioner can provide initial guidance, and the otolaryngologist is the specialist who examines the eardrum and hearing in detail. Having it evaluated by them helps in caring for the ear properly.
