A member asked:

Could tinnitus due to ruptured ear drum be healed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See ENT specialist: Have the ruptured eardrum repaired. The tinnitus should improve within a few days afterwards if damage to the auditory portion of the inner ear has not accompanied the tympanic membrane trauma.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
