What are the consequences of a tympanic membrane perforation left untreated?

For the cause, anti-infection**, surgery if necessary**.

Drug**: Perforation of the tympanic membrane due to acute otitis media:

1.Adequate antibiotics should be used as soon as possible to control the infection, and penicillin, cephalosporins and other drugs can be selected.

2.Local**: After cleaning the external auditory canal with 3% hydrogen peroxide, antibiotics can be used to inject ear fluid, and perforations that cannot heal spontaneously after inflammation control can be considered for surgical repair.

: Chronic inflammation of the proximity to the organs.

Surgery**: Perforation of the tympanic membrane due to trauma:

1.Removal of foreign bodies, blood clots, etc., retained in the external auditory canal.

2.Avoid colds and never blow your nose too hard.

3.Irrigation and dispensing of drugs are prohibited in the external auditory canal, and large or non-spontaneous perforations can be surgically repaired.

Most traumatic perforations heal spontaneously within 3 to 4 months.

Hello, what are the dangers of tympanic membrane perforation?

1. Perforation of the eardrum makes the middle ear communicate with the outside world, and bacteria can easily enter and cause otitis media when swimming, washing hair or picking ears. If used incorrectly, it can also cause a decline in the nerve function of the inner ear, which is more difficult to treat. More seriously, otitis media can lead to osteolic ulcer or cholesteatoma otitis media, and bone erosion may lead to facial nerve palsy, meningitis, brain abscess, etc.

Extracranial and extracranial complications can be life-threatening.

2. The protective effect of the middle ear has been damaged, and the eardrum is a side portal of the middle ear, which separates the outer ear from the middle ear and protects the middle ear cavity. After perforation, external bacteria, sewage, and foreign bodies can cause infection and pus in the middle ear through perforation.

3. Perforation causes hearing loss: the sound first vibrates the tympanic membrane, and then passes to the cochlea through the middle ear ossicular chain, which then causes nerve reflex to form hearing, after the tympanic membrane is perforated, the effective vibration area of the eardrum is reduced, and the energy of external sound waves is transmitted to the inner ear to weaken, resulting in hearing loss.

4. The smaller perforation in the tympanic membrane perforation can be automatically healed without **, but if the perforation is larger, the effective vibration area of the sound will be reduced, causing hearing problems, and at the same time, due to the loss of the barrier protection of the tympanic membrane, many bacteria, viruses, sewage, fungi and other harmful substances will be driven straight in, and many unimaginable health hazards will break out.

Due to the perforation of the eardrum, it is easy for external bacteria to enter the middle ear, causing otitis media, and even complicated by middle ear cholesteatoma in severe cases, endangering the patient's ear health. After the tympanic membrane is perforated, the defense of the eardrum is weakened, and the external auditory canal communicates directly with the middle ear, which is more susceptible to the influence of the middle ear, causing otitis externa. After the perforation of the eardrum, the effective vibration area of the eardrum decreases, and the sensitivity to sound decreases, which will cause hearing loss and cause deafness and tinnitus.

If the tympanic membrane perforation of brain abscess is not treated in time, the perforation will become larger, and the middle ear will be more susceptible to inflammation, and the diagnosis and treatment will spread to the bone and skull, which will cause serious complications such as meningitis and brain abscess.

In general, if the eardrum perforation is not very serious, it will not cause deafness, but if the eardrum perforation is not carried out in time, it is very likely to cause deafness, and it should be noted that if the eardrum is perforated, it will affect the hearing of the ear to a large extent. Most acute otitis media and tympanic membrane perforation after trauma heal quickly as long as they are controlled promptly.

In daily life, tympanic membrane perforation is a very common phenomenon, and a variety of different reasons will cause people to perforate their tympanic membrane, and it will work backwards, which brings great distress to people. Let's talk about the specific effects of tympanic membrane perforation on people.

After the tympanic membrane is perforated, the patient loses the protective function, and external bacteria, sewage, and foreign bodies may enter the middle ear through the perforation, causing infection and pus. Because the middle ear communicates with the outside world, it is very easy for bacteria to enter when the patient is swimming, washing their hair, or in a cloudy environment, resulting in otitis media. If the patient has otitis media, it will cause the tympanic membrane perforation to increase and the middle ear adhesion hardening, which will further reduce the patient's hearing.

More seriously, it may also lead to the occurrence of osteolitic or cholesteatoma otitis media, when the patient's bones are eroded, it may lead to a series of intracranial and extracranial complications such as facial nerve palsy, meningitis, brain abscess, etc., and may even be life-threatening.

Piercing can cause hearing loss. This is because sound first vibrates the eardrum and then travels through the ossicular chain of the middle ear to the cochlea, causing nerve reflexes that form hearing. However, after the tympanic membrane is perforated, the effective vibration area of the eardrum will be reduced, and the energy of external sound waves will be transmitted to the inner ear will also be weakened, and the patient will have hearing loss.

Once the patient has a tympanic membrane perforation, the eardrum perforation**, and the sooner**, the better, if not timely, the eardrum perforation may seriously affect the hearing, resulting in conductive hearing impairment. A small hole does not hinder hearing, but the larger the hole, the more severe the hearing loss, but it is still not completely deaf, and it is completely possible to do so.

Although tympanic membrane perforation is very harmful to people's work and life, patients do not need to worry too much. Patients need to pay special attention to prevent colds and flu, keep nasal breathing smooth, prevent the possibility of tympanic membrane perforation caused by colds, and also strengthen exercise to improve their own immunity.

Eardrum perforation Boeing Ding deafness, tympanic membrane perforation are caused by external force or lesions, the disease will affect hearing, resulting in conduction, hearing impairment, small perforation does not affect hearing, the larger the hole, the more serious the impact on hearing.

Hello: After the tympanic membrane is perforated, the effective vibration area of the eardrum is reduced, and the energy of external sound waves into the inner ear is weakened, and hearing will be reduced. The size and location of the tympanic membrane piercing have different effects on hearing, with small anterior piercings generally having little effect on hearing and large piercing causing severe hearing loss.

Studies have shown that when the tympanic membrane perforation area reaches 10%, it only causes a slight loss of low-frequency hearing, and the degree of deafness is directly proportional to the size of the tympanic membrane perforation, which is due to the perforation reduces the effective vibration area of the tympanic membrane and weakens the sound enhancement effect of the middle ear.

Hello : No, the consequences are serious:

1. There may be simple intermittent pus discharge in the ear, pus episodes or increase during upper sensation, mucus pus, no odor; In the quiescent phase, the pus flow stops, and there is a perforation in the tension of the tympanic membrane, but the size and location of the perforation varies, and the tympanic chamber is dry, and the hearing loss is not severe. Bone ulcer type is widely damaged, local granulation or polyp, long-term continuous pus discharge in the ear, pus is thick and odorous, marginal perforation or large perforation of tympanic membrane tension, and granulation or polyp is seen in the tympanic compartment.

2. Cholesteatoma type may cause damage to the surrounding bone wall, resulting in a series of intracranial and external complications, long-term continuous pus, pus volume varies, special foul odor, hearing loss with heavy conduction, lesions or bacterial toxins invading the cochlea, hearing loss is mixed, tympanic membrane relaxation or tension posterior upper marginal perforation, tympanic cavity gray-white scales or okara-like amorphous substance.

Perforated eardrum, under normal circumstances, will heal automatically after half a month, and the tympanic membrane has this function. But be careful not to get water in your ears, don't wear headphones, and don't do anything that vibrates your ears a lot. If it does not heal naturally in half a month, you can use garlic skin to stick it on the surface of the eardrum and put it on both sides of the ruptured eardrum.

If that doesn't solve the problem, it's time to see a doctor for surgery.

A ruptured eardrum has a great impact on hearing. Although it is said that people have a second eardrum, and the eardrum is not the only way to transmit sound, people mainly rely on the eardrum to hear sound.

Hello, tympanic membrane perforation is actually not a very serious condition, generally you don't need to worry too much after tympanic membrane perforation. Keep your ears safe from getting water to prevent colds and infections. The eardrum has a relatively strong ability to heal itself, and if the perforation is not long and the perforation is not large, most of the perforations can heal on their own.

If it does not affect normal hearing, there is no need to deliberately intervene.

May cause hearing loss.

Looking for a regular Provincial Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University, it must be right. The kind of small, informal ones that may make you regret them for the rest of your life.

Generally, the child's tympanic membrane perforation may be otitis media or the disease of the inner ear, it is best to take the child to the hospital in time to check the condition of the ear canal, not in time** may affect the child's hearing.
