A member asked:
How does a burst eardrum affect hearing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reduced surface area: The eardrum relays vibrations from sound waves into the inner ear via the hearing bones. A perforated eardrum has less surface area to vibrate and relay to the hearing bones into the inner ear.
