The eardrum (tympanic membrane) is a thin, oval layer of tissue deep in the ear canal. It helps protect the delicate middle and inner ear from the outside. It is called an eardrum because it looks and acts like a drum.The eardrum receives vibrations from the outer ear and transmits them to the small hearing bones (ossicles), of the middle ear. Because it is so thin, the eardrum can be ruptured or punctured. The hole exposes the middle and inner ear to damage or infection.t helps protect the delicate middle and inner ear from the outside.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: Your tympanic membrane, or eardrum, is a stiff but movable oval membrane inside your ear. Your tympanic membrane separates your outer ear canal from your inner ear. A tympanic membrane perforation is a condition where your eardrum has a tear or hole in it. You may have normal or decreased hearing when your eardrum is torn. You may also have ear discharge, tinnitus (ringing or buzzing sound in the ear), or dizziness. Ear discharge may be clear, bloody, or yellowish and thick. A mild eardrum perforation may heal on its own over time.
