Health Tip: Ruptured Eardrum
Source: Yahoo Author: HealthDay Published date: 2007-02-22  

(HealthDay News) -- A ruptured eardrum has a tear in it. The torn tissue often is caused by pressure and fluid buildup resulting from a middle ear infection.

The eardrum protects the inner ear from wind and foreign particles, and also helps you hear. When the eardrum is perforated, the University of Michigan Health System says, it can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.

Treatment may include an antibiotic to clear up any infection, and surgery may be required for large tears. The university recommends protecting the ear from water, cold and wind to reduce pain and the chances for additional injury while the tear heals itself.
