Brief Answer:
Possible Hemotympanum.A CT temporal bone will help
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I understand your concern.
You possibly seem to have traumatic rupture of eardrum.
In order to assess the severity I advise you to have Impedance audiometry.
A consultation with a Audiologist and ENT surgeon will help.
Only small tears will heal.
Large tears or those with recurrent bleed will not heal spontaneously and will require surgery.
A CT of the Temporal bone is required in case the symptoms worsen in the next 7 days .
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
