Can blocked Eustachian tube rupture eardrum?
Can blocked Eustachian tube rupture eardrum? If the eustachian tube is partly or completely blocked because of scarring, a tumor, an infection, the common cold, or an allergy, air cannot move in and out of the middle ear. The resulting pressure difference causes pain and often hearing loss and may bruise the eardrum or even cause it to rupture and bleed.
What does it feel like right before your eardrum bursts?
A ruptured eardrum, like a clap of thunder, can happen suddenly. You may feel a sharp pain in your ear, or an earache that you've had for a while suddenly goes away. It's also possible that you may not have any sign that your eardrum has ruptured.
