Perforated Eardrum Symptoms
2. Hearing Loss
Because the ear drum is so instrumental in helping us to hear, it follows that damage to the ear drum will result in hearing problems. This is a fairly common symptom of the condition and the severity of the symptoms can vary considerably from person to person.
In some cases, the patient might experience a slightly muffled sound and it might barely be noticeable to the patient at times. In other cases, the patient might have difficulty hearing anything at all. The change in hearing ability is also likely to be sudden; occurring as soon as the injury has taken place.
