What causes fluid behind the ear drum?
Fluid behind the eardrum, often referred to as middle ear effusion, is typically caused by Eustachian tube dysfunction, which can occur due to allergies, sinus infections, or upper respiratory infections. When the Eustachian tube becomes blocked or fails to equalize pressure properly, fluid can accumulate in the middle ear. This condition can lead to discomfort, hearing loss, and increased risk of infections. Children are particularly susceptible due to the anatomical differences in their Eustachian tubes.
What happens to the mastoid when the middle ear retains fluid?
The mastoid is connected with the middle ear, so that when there is a collection of fluid in the middle ear, there is usually also a slight collection of fluid within the airspaces of the mastoid.
What does it mean when they put tubes in your ears?
It means that doctors take little tubes (literally, think like a little itty bitty straw no longer than a pen tip) and push them through the ear drum. It stays in the ear drum and creates an opening between the inner and outer ear that keeps fluid from building up behind the ear drum. It's kind of like putting a sewer pipe in a dam to let the water go to the other side of the river.
What job does the ear drum do?

How do you cure middle ear infusion?
a tube is implanted in a tiny hole through the eardrum, this allows the drainage of fluid behind the ear drum which will cause the loss of hearing in the affected ear until this minor surgery is done(outpatient)After draining the hearing will gradually return to normal in the affected ear.An ENT is needed to provide this surgery.
How does longitudinal waves in the air produce longitudinal waves in the cochlear fluid of the inner ear?
The pressure wave in the air enters the ear canal and vibrates the tympanic membrane (the ear drum) the ear drum vibrates the malleus (hammer), the incus (anvil) and the stappes (stirrup) in the middle ear. These bonds vibrate the oval window (into the cochlea) and the oval window produces a pressure wave in the fluid in the inner ear.
Where does the sound vibrate in the ear?
ear drum
What instrument can you carry in your ear?
an ear drum!
What does Myringotomy do?
The surgeon makes a small hole in the ear drum, then uses suction to remove fluid. A small ear tube of metal or plastic is inserted into the ear drum to allow continual drainage. The tube prevents infections as long as it stays in place
What causes a burst ear drum?
An ear drum bursts by water putting pressure on the back of it.
What are the 3 anatomical subdivisions of the ear?
The inner, outer and middle. The outer ear is the bit stuck to the side of your head and the ear canal down to the ear drum. The middle ear is an air-filled cavity behind the ear drum, where the 3 smallest bones in the human body are found. The inner ear is made up of the hearing organ (the cochlea) and the organ responsible for sensing motion and gravity which helps us balance.
