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.


Can ear drum rupture from blowing nose?

Yes, it is possible for a forceful blowing of the nose to cause the eardrum to rupture. The sudden increase in pressure in the nasal cavity can be transmitted to the middle ear through the Eustachian tube, potentially causing the eardrum to rupture. It's important to blow your nose gently to avoid this risk.


How does otitis media affect the eardrum?

Otitis media can cause inflammation and fluid buildup behind the eardrum, leading to pain, pressure, and potential rupture of the eardrum. This can result in symptoms like ear pain, decreased hearing, and sometimes drainage from the ear.


Is the ear canal the same as the eardrum?

No, the ear canal and the eardrum are different structures in the ear. The ear canal is a tube that carries sound to the eardrum, a thin layer of tissue that vibrates in response to sound waves. The eardrum separates the outer ear from the middle ear.


Which section of the ear is the eardrum in?

The tympanic membrane (eardrum) is the division of the outer and middle ear. The middle ear is sometimes called the tympanic chamber, so the eardrum is officially designated to the middle ear.
