What is the perforation of eardrum?

The eardrum, also called tympanic membrane, is an elastic gray-white translucent membrane that separates the external auditory canal from the middle ear. Function is equivalent to the protective film of the ear. If there are external viruses or bacteria, it means perforation. There will be some damage to the perforation of the eardrum, and the protection of the middle ear will be damaged. The tympanic membrane is the gateway to the middle ear, separating the outer ear from the middle ear and protecting the middle tympanic membrane. Perforation of eardrum is generally caused by violent cases, traffic accidents or air pressure changes. Traditional Chinese medicine belongs to the category of "leakage of the hilum" Tympanic membrane perforation is a common problem in forensic clinical appraisal. There are many reasons, which are mainly divided into traumatic (direct or indirect external force) tympanic membrane perforation and inflammatory tympanic membrane perforation. The former can be caused by blunt objects (including palms, fists, etc.) ), skull base fracture, explosion, careless ear digging, acupuncture, burns and even insects entering the ear. The traumatic eardrum perforation introduced here mainly refers to the traumatic eardrum perforation caused by indirect external force. The perforation of eardrum is very harmful, and patients should receive treatment in time, which is the key to protect their health. Perforation of eardrum will not only infect adjacent organs and tissues, but also affect the hearing of patients. Cause more harm and lead to many complications. Therefore, after eardrum perforation, you should go to a regular hospital for treatment and examination in time, so as not to delay the best time for treatment and persecute the health of many patients.
