In this video, we explain Ear Drum Perforation (Tympanic Membrane Perforation / “Ear Hole”) — why it happens, common causes, and key symptoms you shouldn’t ignore.
What is an eardrum perforation?
A perforated eardrum is a tear or hole in the thin membrane that separates your outer ear from the middle ear. It can affect hearing and may increase the risk of infections.
✅ Common Causes
Middle ear infection (otitis media) causing pressure buildup
Ear trauma (cotton buds/Q-tips, sharp objects, accidental injury)
Sudden pressure changes (barotrauma) during flights, diving, or blasts
Loud sound / acoustic trauma (explosions, very loud noise)
Ear surgeries / medical procedures (rare)
Foreign body in the ear (especially in children)
⚠️ Symptoms & Warning Signs
Ear pain (may reduce suddenly after a “pop”)
Fluid or pus discharge from the ear
Reduced hearing / muffled hearing
Ringing in the ear (tinnitus)
Dizziness / vertigo (sometimes)
Feeling of fullness in the ear
🩺 When to Seek Medical Help
If you have ear discharge, hearing loss, severe pain, fever, or dizziness, it’s best to consult an ENT specialist. Avoid putting drops or objects into the ear unless a clinician advises it.
