What is a Perforated Eardrum?
A perforated eardrum is a tear or hole in the tympanic membrane (eardrum), which can affect hearing and increase the risk of infections.

Causes of a Perforated Eardrum

• Ear infections
• Sudden pressure changes (barotrauma)
• Direct injury or loud noise exposure

Diagnosis and Treatment
At Dr. Sachin Goel’s Clinic, we diagnose perforated eardrums through otoscopy and hearing tests.

Treatment options include:

• Observation and Medications: Small perforations may heal naturally.
• Surgical Repair (Tympanoplasty): For persistent cases.
