What should I do if I can't hear the sound of tympanic membrane perforation?
What are the symptoms of tympanic membrane perforation? Can't hear sound (hearing loss) be caused by perforation of tympanic membrane? Otolaryngology experts pointed out that once the tympanic membrane is perforated, external bacteria, sewage and foreign bodies can enter the middle ear through the perforation, causing infection and pus, hearing loss and even deafness. Therefore, tympanic membrane perforation must be treated in time, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Tympanic membrane connects the middle ear with the outside world, is the portal and guardian of the middle ear, and protects the middle ear cavity. Once the tympanic membrane is perforated, external bacteria, sewage and foreign bodies can enter the middle ear through the perforation, causing infection, pus and hearing loss. What is the perforation of tympanic membrane? What symptoms indicate that the tympanic membrane has been perforated? How to treat tympanic membrane perforation? The eardrum is a thin film at the bottom of the external auditory canal, only 0. 1 mm thick. Tympanic membrane plays an important role in the conduction function of hearing, which can drive the vibration of ossicles in the middle ear. Another important function of tympanic membrane is to resist noise. Tympanic membrane perforation is caused by careless ear digging and otitis media. Tympanic membrane perforation will affect hearing and cause conductive hearing impairment, which needs timely treatment. There are many reasons for tympanic membrane perforation, and the specific reasons require professional otolaryngology health network for diagnosis and treatment. Once the tympanic membrane is perforated, the clinical symptoms are mostly normal to moderate hearing loss and obstruction, as follows: 1. Deafness and tinnitus: hearing loss at first, followed by tinnitus. Deafness was relieved after perforation. Sometimes it can be accompanied by dizziness. 2, systemic symptoms: before tympanic membrane perforation, systemic fever, aversion to cold, fatigue and other symptoms are more obvious. Children are often accompanied by symptoms of acute gastroenteritis such as vomiting and diarrhea. There is a sharp pain or tingling in the deep ear before tympanic membrane perforation, and the pain can radiate to the forehead, temple and teeth on the same side, which is due to the reflection of trigeminal nerve branches on the tympanic membrane. Babies often cry and refuse to eat. When the tympanic membrane is spontaneously perforated or cut to discharge pus, the pain is greatly relieved and the systemic symptoms are improved. Note to patients: The earlier the tympanic membrane perforation is treated, the better. The sooner the tympanic membrane perforation is treated, the better. Treatment is not timely. Tympanic membrane perforation may affect hearing and cause conductive hearing impairment. Small holes do not interfere with hearing. The bigger the hole, the more serious the hearing loss, but still not completely deaf. When water enters the external auditory canal, such as washing hair, taking a bath or swimming, it will flood into the middle ear through the broken hole, causing acute inflammation and bringing great inconvenience and trouble to life. At present, there are three methods to treat tympanic membrane perforation: one is drug treatment, the other is traditional surgical treatment, and the third is otoscope tympanic membrane perforation repair. The effects of the three therapies are very different, so patients should choose carefully when treating. Oral antibiotics and topical drugs can only relieve the pain caused by perforation of tympanic membrane, but can't repair the perforated tympanic membrane, and naturally it can't cure the disease. The traditional surgical treatment of tympanic membrane perforation in the ear or behind the ear is carried out from the place where the body tissue is implanted into the tympanic membrane. Patients are prone to postoperative bleeding and sequelae when receiving this therapy, so patients need to use this method with caution. Otolaryngology Health Network is the largest professional Otolaryngology Health Network in East China. Clinical experts have decades of experience in clinical diagnosis and treatment. Compared with traditional palmistry, minimally invasive otolaryngology is more efficient and time-saving, and the operation is safe and reliable, which can achieve satisfactory results.

First of all, otoscope carefully examines ear lesions, and one of the keys to ensure the safety of surgery is to fully expose the surgical field of vision. Using ear microscopy to locate the lesions in the deep and hidden parts of the ear can effectively reduce the difficulty and risk of treatment and improve the accuracy of treatment. 2. Under the guidance of otoscope and otoscope, tympanic membrane perforation can be completely treated by myringoplasty. Technical advantages: otoendoscope technology has the advantages of less trauma, short time, less bleeding, no impact on aesthetics, quick recovery, etc. Compared with traditional surgery, it is more efficient and time-saving, safe and reliable, and can achieve satisfactory results. Experts remind patients that tympanic membrane perforation seriously affects hearing function, and a slight carelessness in treatment will lead to hearing loss, which will affect life, work, study and other aspects. Patients should not be blind when treating tympanic membrane perforation. It is the key to cure completely without affecting hearing.
