Talk:Eardrum

message: Previous revisions referred to REM sleep problems caused by perforated eardrums.  I could find no mention of this information in the given source, nor elsewhere after a brief web search, and hence removed it.  A check by one more knowledgeble than I would be appreciated.  --Virnas 05:12, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I heard once, from a middle-school science teacher who used to be a fighter pilot, that pilots would sometimes neatly puncture their eardrums with a sharp object when they were fixing to be in a situation where the pressure might change suddenly without warning, because a neatly punctured eardrum will heal and an eardrum ruptured by a sudden pressure change might not.  Can someone verify this and maybe comment on how long it takes for such a puncture to heal and hearing to return? --Jim Henry 18:15, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Healing of punctured eardrum 

message: Howdy, eardrum fans! A couple of things we should tweak --
Ruptured eardrum redirects to Eardrum, which does not discuss this condition. On the other hand, Perforated eardrum has a separate article. 
:fixed
Additionally, a surprisingly large number of articles link to Eardrum: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere/Eardrum&limit=500&from=0 . 
:that is not surprising
----
IMHO, the main article should have at least a brief mention of medical conditions affecting the eardrum, with links to specific articles. -- 201.51.231.176 21:57, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I will be going for surgey , called Tympanoplasty, ear drum repair. I am wondering if anyone could help/share me with some of their experiences with such surgery: success rate, post surgery effect etc.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ishrat chowdhury (talk • contribs) 21:39, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

message: This was posted by 71.178.63.64: (In the picture to the right and up, the Malleus and Incus have been switched and the proper order is Malleus, Incus, then Stapes). Since it was posted in the article, I had to revert. But could someone confirm what he/she wrote? Antivenin 16:50, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi. According to a letter sent to OTRS (Ticket:2009042710075597), the image was wrong. It presented the bones as incus, malleus & stapes rather than malleus, incus & stapes. (See :File:Anatomy_of_the_Human_Ear.svg) I'm by no means a doctor, but the National Library of Medicine seems to agree as does the Department for Work and Pensions, here. I am removing the image from the article. And will pursue the matter further at the Medicine wikiproject. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:19, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Indeed, there is more content in this article about causes of rupture than in Perforated eardrum. --NetRolller 3D 06:07, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article is essentially about ruptures 

message: This article contains a large amount of anatomy jargon that makes it basically unreadable to a person without that training. philosofool (talk) 16:35, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
