Can Loud Noise Rupture Eardrum And Is Early Medical Intervention Necessary?
Hi, I went to the fair ground and the loudly music and fireworks rupture my eardrum. I feel pressure on my ears and I can only sleep sit down. I am trying to make an appointment for the ENT but most of the offices are full until next week. Do I need to go to the hospital to check my ears? I assume that my eardrum broke. will it be too late if I wait until next week?
