A member asked:
I have a ruptured eardrum. (happened 8 days ago) its healing and the pain is gone but my hearing is still very muffled and ringing. should i be trying to avoid exposing my ear to sound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usual levels of sound would not interfere with healing. However, if your hearing is not improving, it would be prudent to see an ENT doctor. Wish you good health!
