Hardening of the eardrum, also known as tympanosclerosis, refers to the calcification or thickening of the tympanic membrane, often due to repeated infections or inflammation. This condition can affect the eardrum's ability to vibrate properly, potentially leading to hearing loss or other auditory issues. Symptoms may include muffled hearing or discomfort, although some individuals may experience no noticeable effects. Treatment options vary based on severity and may include monitoring, medication, or surgical intervention if necessary.
The term means "hardening" of the "drum". In this case, it is meant that the inner ear is calcified.
