A member asked:

Can a toddler perforate eardrum from brother screaming loud into it? he didn't bleed or cry. he also has tubes in his ear. just worried it was loud.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: If your infant has tubes, no loud noise will cause his eardrums to perforate, and specifically not the screaming of his sib.

Dr Diede and another doctor agreed
