The eardrum is also known as the tympanic membrane. It is the membrane that separates the outer and middle ear. Sound waves cause the tympanic membrane to vibrate when they reach it. The vibrations are subsequently sent to the middle ear’s small bones. The vibrating impulses are subsequently sent to the inner ear through the middle ear bones. The eardrum is a thin connective tissue membrane covered by the skin on the outside and mucosa on the inside. Your eardrum also serves as a barrier, keeping water, germs, and other unwanted objects out of your middle ear.
An eardrum rupture is a tiny hole or tear in the eardrum. When sound waves reach your ear, the tympanic membrane vibrates. The vibration travels through the middle ear bones. Because this vibration helps you to hear, if your eardrum is ruptured, your hearing may suffer. A perforated eardrum is another term for a ruptured eardrum. This disease can be in rare circumstances, result in permanent hearing loss.
