Eardrum injuries: this is serious

July 13, 2011

 eardrum injuries
 The eardrum separates the outer ear from the middle. Thin but dense enough and flexible membrane impermeable to air and liquid, it not only performs a protective function, but also the function of sound conduction, being the first link which receives the mechanical oscillations of the air passes through and attached thereto auditory ossicles to the inner ear.

The diameter of the eardrum in an adult of about one centimeter and the thickness - a tenth of a millimeter. Children eardrum thickness, its diameter is less. The eardrum is innervated by branches of the drum nerve damage so it is very painful.

 Eardrum injuries: this is serious

Clinical presentation and diagnosis

By way of exposure to distinguish direct and indirect injury.

Direct injuries occur when a direct effect on the eardrum.

Random eardrum injury with sharp objects appear when you try to pull yourself out of the ear plug sulfuric or clean the outer ear canal with a toothpick, needle or other inappropriate subject matter. At otoscopy detect torn dot perforations, amid mild hyperemia of the tympanic membrane.

Barotrauma is caused by the pressure difference in the environment and in the tympanic cavity, which happens when you fly on airplanes, especially during overload with professional pilots, when immersed in divers. Barotrauma can be obtained in household conditions, for example, when hitting a hand to the ear sharply increased pressure area is created How to deal with high blood pressure?  How to deal with high blood pressure?
 That leads to the eardrum injury. With a kiss on the ear, on the other hand, creates a low pressure area Low blood pressure - can it be considered normal?  Low blood pressure - can it be considered normal?
 That can also damage the eardrum.

With explosions and gunfire at close range reveals a combination of baro and acoustic trauma, which are based on the mechanism of instant increase in atmospheric pressure and drastic action high-frequency sound. Such injuries are typical for individuals who are in a war zone. At otoscopy revealed significant redness of the eardrum, with severe bleeding, often with perforation irregular, ragged shape.

Pyoinflammatory middle ear disease as well, often result in damage to the eardrum. The tympanum of the middle ear a little, inflammation and edema expressed Prevention and treatment of edema - it is important to understand the root cause  Prevention and treatment of edema - it is important to understand the root cause

At otoscopy revealed perforation of the eardrum, irregular shape, its redness and thickening, amid considerable, often purulent, separated.

During the flight in the aircraft can be used in chewing gum or candy, with a view to more frequent opening of the auditory tube that aligns between the external pressure and the pressure in the tympanic cavity.
