Eardrum

Eardrum Perforation An eardrum perforation is a puncture or tear in the eardrum. This is also called a ruptured eardrum. The eardrum is a thin, round tissue inside your ear that separates the ear canal from the middle ear. This is the tissue that detects sound and enables you to hear. An eardrum perforation can cause discomfort and hearing loss. In most cases, the eardrum will heal without treatment and with little or no permanent hearing loss. CAUSES • Sudden pressure changes that happen in situations

Ear infections in Longview, TX are extremely painful and are the cause of many hours of sleepless nights and crying for a great many infants and toddlers.

Tympanic Membrane Assessment The tympanic membrane, also known as the eardrum is a thin tissue that separates the ear canal from the middle ear. The two primary functions of the eardrum are protection and hearing. The tympanic membrane receives the sound vibrations from the outer air and transmits them to the auditory ossicles, which are tiny bones in the middle ear. The normal color of the tympanic membrane is a pearl gray but can sometimes appear yellow or pink (Britannica 2015). The following

Stilettos smacked against the side walk to the beat of a melody pounding against her ear drums.

I flash him a light wave saying a sarcastic “thanks for making me lose sight of her”
