Can a collapsed eardrum cause deafness? Will hearing loss continue to be lost when the eardrum is in

Invaginated tympanic membrane indicates a condition of negative pressure within the tympanic chamber, and some patients may have a tympanic effusion due to high negative pressure, which is manifested as secretory otitis media.

Secretory otitis media is mostly secondary to an infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract. Upper respiratory tract infection or acute rhinitis, chronic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis and acute and chronic sinusitis lead to swelling of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx, resulting in Eustachian tube dysfunction, followed by negative pressure in the middle ear cavity, and even middle ear effusion.

Patients present with symptoms of ear tightness, ear blockage, and conductive hearing loss.

For secretory otitis media, nasal spray drugs and oral drugs are mainly used to improve the swelling of the nasal cavity and nasopharyngeal mucosa, and improve the function of the eustachian tube. At the same time, we should conduct a comprehensive examination of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx to rule out the possibility of various benign and malignant new organisms in the nasal cavity, sinuses, and nasopharynx.

The main symptoms of patients with inverted eardrums are tinnitus, a feeling of fullness in the ears, and even hearing loss. The main ** is that the patient has inflammatory changes in the middle ear cavity, or there is a change in the air pressure in the middle ear cavity, but it generally does not cause deafness. Patients can go to the hospital's otolaryngology department to complete acoustic conductance testing, after which eustachian tube blowing** can be performed.

However, if the patient has a lot of nasal discharge in the nasal cavity, it is not suitable for Eustachian tube blowing** to avoid aggravating otitis media, and oral antibiotics plus eucalyptus and eucalyptus enteric-coated soft capsules are required to promote excretion**.

Invaginated eardrums and "a lot of noise from the factory where you work" can affect hearing. Invaginated tympanic membrane is generally used to pinch the nose and puff up the eustachian tube** (the specific method is: pinch the nostrils and hold the breath to blow outward, but the force must be appropriate, if the force is too strong, it is easy to cause the tympanic membrane to rupture), of course, you can also go to the hospital for eustachian tube blowing**.

Below, I will give you a brief introduction to the knowledge of tympanic membrane inversion. The tympanic membrane, which divides the outer ear from the middle ear, is located at the bottom of the external auditory canal and is an oval, translucent membrane. The surface of the eardrum is shallow funnel-shaped, and when the eardrum is invaginated, the eardrum sinks in the direction of the middle ear.

The cause of invagination of the tympanic membrane is caused by an imbalance in the air pressure inside and outside the eardrum. In the nasopharynx, there is a tube that opens downward, backward, and outward, and the other end opens in the anterior wall of the eardrum, and this tube is called the eustachian tube (also called the eustachian tube). Its role is to communicate the tympanic cavity with the nasopharynx, so that the atmospheric pressure of the tympanic cavity and the external auditory canal is equal to maintain the equalization of the tympanic membrane pressure.

If you have serous otitis media, known as catarrhal otitis media, it can lead to dysfunction of the eustachian tube, which imbalances the atmospheric pressure inside and outside the eardrum. In this way, due to the atmospheric pressure from the direction of the external auditory canal, the tympanic membrane will become inverted over time. In addition, rhinitis, pharyngitis or cold nasal congestion can cause Eustachian tube disorders and imbalance the pressure inside and outside the eardrum.

Therefore, keeping the eustachian tube open is key to preventing the tympanic membrane from invagination. Invagination of the tympanic membrane should be symptomatic**. If you have catarrhal otitis media or rhinitis, you need to treat these diseases first.

Eustachian tube blow-up may also be done, which requires a doctor. You can also use the "pinch the nose and puff up" method, close the mouth firmly, pinch the nostrils tightly, and make a puffing action, so that the gas does not escape from the mouth and nostrils, and the gas rushes into the eustachian tube, so that the tympanic membrane invagination can be restored. If you have a cold or acute upper respiratory tract infection, you should not use this method, so as to avoid accidentally blowing the nasal mucus mixed with bacteria into the tympanic cavity from the nasopharynx and causing acute inflammation of the middle ear.

At this time, it is necessary to use this method after a cold and acute upper respiratory tract infection, at least after taking medicine and disposing of it reasonably. Therefore, deaf patients should prevent the tympanic membrane from inverting, and once the tympanic membrane is inward, it should be active, and it is not difficult.

In fact, there may be a lot of lesions in our ears, so we should pay attention to protecting our ears, for example, when we listen to songs, we must pay attention to protecting our ears, such as wearing headphones for a limited time, and then don't always go to particularly noisy places. So, what are the specific methods of eardrum collapse?

1. Blowing support

After the eardrum collapses, if the condition is not severe, you can pinch the nostrils and blow desperately to support the eardrum. However, it should be noted that the throat should be released and blown together when the eardrum is eardrum, otherwise the effect will not be good. After using the insufflation method, it is necessary to pay attention to go to the hospital for a re-examination after a period of time, so as not to have an unexpected situation and not know the suspicion.

2. Puncture the eardrum

Puncturing the eardrum is usually a method that is only used when there is inflammation of the ear canal, and it must be carried out by a professional doctor in a regular hospital, and people without any medical knowledge and clinical trials should not do it without authorization, otherwise it is likely to cause the patient to become deaf forever.

3. Massage the eardrum

Massaging the eardrum is a process of squeezing the air in the ear canal to make the eardrum collapse and bulge, and is only suitable for patients who are not seriously ill. If the condition is more serious and there are complications, it is not recommended to use it, otherwise it will delay the condition and miss the best time.

4. Surgical tympanic membrane

Eardrum collapse**It is also possible to use surgical tympanic membranes, but it is necessary to pay attention to choosing a regular and authoritative hospital, otherwise it is easy to cross-infection with incomplete instrument sterilization. Many patients do not have otitis media, but they are infected with otitis media due to the use of incomplete disinfection instruments, which is really worth the loss.

5. Main symptoms

1) Hearing loss: hearing loss, self-hearing enhancement, head tilt forward or bias to the unaffected side, due to the fluid leaving the snail transmission, the slippery hearing can be temporarily improved (metastatic hearing improvement), when the fluid is viscous, the hearing can not be changed due to the change of head position. Children often have slow response to sounds, difficulty concentrating, and declining academic performance, and are brought to the doctor by their parents.

If one ear is diseased and the other ear has normal hearing, it may go unnoticed for a long time and be detected during a physical examination.

2) Earache: acute patients may have vague otalgia, often the first symptom of the patient, can be persistent, can also be throbbing, chronic earache is not obvious, the disease is very related to the occlusion or fullness in the ear, after pressing the tragus can be temporarily reduced.

3) Tinnitus: mostly low-key intermittent, such as "crackling" sound, buzzing and running water. When the head moves, yawns, or blows the nose, the sound of breath passing through the ears may appear.

4) There is a feeling of "wood" around the patient, and there is a sense of boredom psychologically.

Hello: Eardrum depression is actually caused by the formation of negative pressure in the ear, under normal circumstances, the eardrum is part of the middle ear, and the middle ear communicates with the nose through the eustachian tube, when the eustachian tube is blocked (or when the opening is poor), the inside is equal to atresia, so that the blood flow inside will bring out a small amount of gas inside, and gradually it will be negative pressure, and some people have oozing otitis media.

If there is no change in your hearing, you can observe it temporarily, **what, you can pinch your nose and puff it up as the brother above said** (but you must not do that when there is inflammation in the nasal cavity, it is easy to get acute otitis media).

It is necessary to try to choose an authoritative hospital with a certain reputation and influence in order to recover your condition as soon as possible. Wang Huili, an expert from Wuhan Minsheng Eye and Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist Hospital, met the standards in all aspects.

Invagination of the tympanic membrane should be symptomatic**. As long as the hearing is basically normal, mild tympanic membrane inversion is not a problem, if there is a person whose eustachian tube is blocked or narrowed, so that the tympanic cavity and the outside air pressure can not be balanced, not only the tympanic membrane is invaginated, but also the hearing is reduced, accompanied by tinnitus, ear stuffiness, this is pathology, medically called chronic non-purulent otitis media. Although it does not blew pus or water like purulent otitis media, symptoms such as deafness, ear tightness, and tinnitus are very depressing.

There are many causes of Eustachian tube obstruction, such as hypertrophic rhinitis, posterior inferior turbinate hypertrophy, hypertrophy of proliferative bodies, nasopharyngeal tumors, etc., which can compress the Eustachian tube orifice, cause Eustachian tube disorder, and imbalance the pressure inside and outside the tympanic membrane. Therefore, keeping the eustachian tube open is key to preventing the tympanic membrane from invagination. If there is catarrhal otitis media or rhinitis.

There are many causes of deafness, tinnitus, and Eustachian tube obstruction, which need to be diagnosed**.; Inverted eardrum can cause hearing loss or deafness, and it is recommended to undergo a **test to confirm whether it is inflammation or other causes**.
