Can we wear hearing aids for tympanic membrane perforation

Eardrum is the eardrum. Many people are afraid of eardrum perforation, which is inevitable. Eardrum perforation will cause pain, and then lead to hearing loss. At the same time, there is a risk of infection, causing a lot of inconvenience to life. A small number of people think that eardrum perforation is deafness, which is not deaf, but not all deaf.

Can we wear a hearing aid after eardrum perforation?

The score depends on the situation. First of all, the perforation of tympanic membrane is of different sizes. For small perforation, we only need to heal ourselves. But for large perforation, we can’t heal ourselves by ourselves. We can only repair it by surgery. Within three months after the operation, even if there is hearing loss, we can’t wear hearing aids.

At the same time, tympanic membrane perforation may be caused by otitis media, which means that your ear is inflamed, and our patients can’t wear hearing aids during the attack of otitis media, because we should treat otitis media first, and then wear them after the inflammation is eliminated.

In addition, when the tympanic membrane is perforated, do not wear the hearing aid directly. You should first carry out the above-mentioned surgical repair. If you wear the hearing aid directly, the sound will directly enter the middle ear cavity, and then you will suffer from vertigo, hearing fatigue and other symptoms, so repair first and then wear it.

Secondly, during the tympanic membrane perforation, pay attention to the cleaning of the ear canal to prevent sewage and dirt from entering the ear canal, otherwise the infection will be very troublesome.
