The eardrum is essentially the membrane of the ear that absorbs sound waves. Since this is essentially skin, it is possible to heal, however if ruptured it can be severe.

Delving deeper, the eardrum is a very, very sensitive instrument. It works in a process, and I'd need to know exactly what you mean by "burst and eardrum" to respond.

How can you burst an eardrum?

Too much pressure can rupture an eardrum. For example, I ruptured my brother's eardrum many years ago with one of those pool noodles. We were fighting with them in the pool and I smacked him in the side of the head with it. The force of impact directly over his ear created enough pressure inside of his ear cavity to actually rupture his eardrum. Another thing that can rupture/burst an eardrum is simply sticking something that doesn't belong inside of your ear too deep, physically puncturing the eardrum. Although eardrums can burst, they can also heal. However, the older you get, the more difficult it becomes for your body to repair an eardrum.

Why your eardrum burst outwardly in space?

In space, there is no air pressure to balance the pressure inside your ears. If the pressure inside your ear is significantly higher than the pressure outside, it can cause your eardrum to burst outwardly. This can happen if you hold your breath and strain, as the air in your lungs builds up pressure and pushes against the eardrum.


Why your eardrum burst inwardly under deep sea?

Because the surrounding water pressure will push it that way.


How can a nearby explosion burst your eardrum?

A nearby explosion can burst your eardrum due to the sudden increase in air pressure created by the blast. The rapid change in pressure can cause the eardrum to rupture, leading to hearing loss and pain. The loud noise generated by the explosion can also contribute to damaging the delicate structures of the ear.

A ruptured tympanic membrane (aka - a burst ear-drum) will drain pus and mucus from the middle ear until the hole within the tympanic membrane has sealed over. Therapy usually involves antibiotic ear-drops and sometimes oral antibiotics, too.


What does a burst eardrum feel like?

Your eardrum may burst if you keep listening to incredibly loud noise or if a lot of air pollution gets in your ear. If you're in an incredibly noisy place like in the construction site, your nerve signal usually tells you to stay away. If your eardrum burst, you can't hear anything, which means you're deaf. If there's a lot of air pollution, you better stay away as well because it doesn't only affect your lung causing lung cancer or pneumonia, it also affects your ear making your eardrum burst. In the past, most construction workers gets their eardrum burst but now they wear earplugs to protect their ears


Can one person clapping burst your eardrum if they are 5 feet away from you?

It is unlikely that one person clapping five feet away from you would burst your eardrum. However, it could potentially cause temporary discomfort or mild hearing damage if the clap was very loud. Eardrums are sensitive, so exposure to loud sounds over time can lead to hearing problems.


How might an excessive loud sound burst your eardrum?

An excessive loud sound, such as an explosion or gunshot, can generate a high level of pressure that can cause the eardrum to rupture. This can happen because the rapid change in air pressure from the loud sound wave can exert too much force on the delicate eardrum, leading to a tear or rupture. Once the eardrum is ruptured, it can result in hearing loss and other complications.
