[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] When a 30-year-old woman was at a party, her friend's child suddenly poked her right ear with a finger, causing severe pain in her right ear, and symptoms of ear fullness and hearing loss.

The examination revealed a hole about 20% of the eardrum was broken, and the auditory ossicles and the inner ear wall were faintly visible in the hole.

The doctor reminded her not to get water in her ears to avoid infection that would lead to hearing deterioration.

Fortunately, after 4 weeks of follow-up treatment, the eardrum has healed.

Zhang Hong, a doctor at Linkou Smiling Parent-Child Otolaryngology Clinic, posted on his Facebook page "Otolaryngology Physician Zhang Hong" and his personal website that acute eardrum lacerations can be simply divided into blunt or stab wounds, and those with minor blunt or stab wounds The healing rate is relatively high. According to research, the average healing time is 6 weeks (depending on the size of the rupture), but if it is caused by an explosion, burn, or car accident, the rate of eardrum healing is low.

Zhang Hong mentioned that if the eardrum has not healed for more than 6 months, it is recommended to undergo tympanoplasty surgery to improve hearing and avoid infection.

If the injury affects the auditory ossicles in addition to the rupture of the eardrum, it is recommended to undergo ossicle molding and tympanoplasty to reconstruct the auditory ossicles and eardrum to improve hearing.

He also reminded that after an ear accident, if symptoms of hearing loss, tinnitus, ear fullness, and ear bleeding occur, it is recommended to seek an ENT examination as soon as possible.

Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent irreversible hearing loss.
