Symptoms

Ear pain may suddenly decrease right after the eardrum ruptures.

After the rupture, the patient may have:

• Drainage from the ear (drainage may be clear, pus, or bloody)
• Ear noise/ buzzing
• Earache or ear discomfort
• Hearing loss in the involved ear (hearing loss may not be total)
• Weakness of the face, or dizziness (in more severe cases)
