Simple perforations of the eardrum, such as those with a small area of perforation or even a reverse perforation, can usually heal on their own without clinical intervention and are less severe injuries. If the perforation of the eardrum is large and more serious, it cannot be considered a minor injury. The eardrum is the tympanic membrane, and tympanic membrane perforations are mainly due to acute and chronic otitis media or trauma. If a simple tympanic membrane perforation is not accompanied by damage to other parts of the ear, the damage to hearing is not serious and the lesion can gradually heal on its own without clinical intervention. However, if there is also a combined auditory bone fracture or dislocation, a hearing impairment greater than 40 dB, along with a vestibular balance disorder on one side or ipsilateral hearing loss, and more serious symptoms, it cannot be considered a minor injury and should be treated surgically under the guidance of an otolaryngologist, and patients need to pay attention to it. Patients should usually pay attention to their diet, ensure balanced nutrition, recuperate in a quiet environment, and ensure that the ear is clean and dry.
