Patients are seen to have a white layer of membrane inside the ear, and this may be clinically possible in the following cases: 1. What is seen is the normal human tympanic membrane. Because the tympanic membrane is a structure deep in a person’s external ear canal, this structure becomes a white membranous layer with light cones and other manifestations inside when outside light shines in. In this case, if the patient has no ear pain, no hearing loss, no pus flowing from the ear canal, this is a very normal phenomenon and there is no need to make a fuss about it clinically. This is common to everyone. Patients should remember not to pierce this membrane by themselves with an ear-pulling spoon or a hard object; once pierced, it can cause perforation of the eardrum and cause unnecessary trouble. 2. What the patient sees is cerumen. Some patients have flaky or membranous cerumen, and this may manifest as a membranous sensation after the outside light shines in. In this case, you can get a doctor to remove this cerumen with small tweezers on it, and the membranous material will not be visible after it is removed.
