Ear drum perforation [Hole in the ear drum]-Causes,line of action- By ENT Surgeon Bangalore
The ear drum is a thin delicate membranous structure situated deep within the ear canal and separates the outer ear canal from the delicate middle and inner ear.Due to its delicate nature the ear drum can get ruptured by various causes even a slap on the ear can rupture the ear drum.
See Article on Ear drum-What is the ear drum?
What are the causes of an ear drum perforation[ ear drum hole]?
Infection of the middle ear Eustachian tube dysfunction[ the eustachian tube is a tube which connects the middle ear with the nasopharynx[back of the nose]
Injury- slap ,fall on the side of the head,injury with ear buds[See Article on Ear buds and You] ,injury with sharp objects inserted into ear,sports injury,motor vehicle accidents,head injury can injure the ear drum and produce an ear drum hole
Lightning injury
Very loud sound
Blast waves from gunshots, fireworks, explosions can produce an ear drum perforation Pressure changes- such as in diving or air travel can injure and rupture the ear drum due to pressure inequalisation between the middle ear and the external ear canal
Can the ear drum perforate due to a cold[upper respiratory tract infection]?
Yes it can! During a heavy or prolonged “cold “,infection can be transmitted to the middle ear from the nose via the eustachian tube .Fluid collects in the middle ear and since the middle ear is enclosed in a narrow bony crevice fluid build up in the narrow area stretches the ear drum which can easily burst at the peak of fluid accumulation.The ear drum perforation is preceded by ear pain and the perforation can even relieve the pain to some extent as the fluid build up is released.This may give the patient a false impression that all is well but tell tale signs are- presence of bleeding due to the rupture of the ear drum [ this may be only a few drops or as a blood stained ear discharge ],some amount of Hearing loss .
Other symptoms which may or may not be present in ear drum perforation are
Tinnitus
Dizziness, Imbalance ,mild Spinning sensation[vertigo]
Ear fullness
If there is severe middle ear infection also the ear drum can perforate due to pus accumulationin the middle ear which can put presure on the ear drum, thin the ear drum and perforate it.

Ear discharge on and off – especially when there is a ‘cold’[upper respiratory infection] or there is some water entry into the ear
Hearing loss [ often denied and goes unnoticed as the other ear if normal makes up for the Hearing loss ]
Tinnitus [may or may not be present]
Dizziness [may come and go]
