Does the tympanic membrane of a normal person hurt?
The tympanic membrane of a normal person usually does not cause pain, but the pain phenomenon can occur after the periosteum does not become inflamed.
The tympanic membrane of a normal person is a semi-transparent membrane that is connected to the skin of the external auditory canal and can function in hearing sound. However, it should be noted that if inflammation occurs in the middle ear, it can easily lead to edema of the tympanic membrane, causing pain and also affecting hearing function, leading to a decrease in hearing and a feeling of stuffiness in the ear.
The tympanic membrane of a normal person generally does not require special treatment. If inflammation occurs, treatment is necessary to avoid the auditory nerve from being affected.
