Everything about Perforated Eardrum totally explained
Rupture or perforation (hole) of the
eardrum can occur in
infection,
trauma (for example by trying to clean the ear with sharp instruments),
explosion or loud noise. Flying with a severe cold can also cause perforation due to changes in air pressure and blocked
eustachian tubes resulting from the cold. This is especially true on landing.

Perforation of the eardrum leads to
conductive hearing loss.
The perforation may heal in a few weeks, or up to a few months.
(External Link) Some perforations require intervention - this may use a paper patch to promote healing (simple procedure in the office of an
ear, nose and throat specialist), or surgery (
tympanoplasty).

Hearing is usually recovered fully, but chronic infection over a long period may lead to permanent hearing loss.
