Retracted Ear Drum : A retracted eardrum refers to a condition wherein the eardrum gets pulled or sucked into the area occurring behind it. This occurs when the pressure in the middle ear area becomes very low. A retracted eardrum is mostly caused due to repeated infections. The eardrum comprises two parts, the pars tensa, which is the main part of the eardrum, and the pars flaccida, which is a smaller part of the eardrum located above the pars tensa. Either or both of these parts may become retracted. The retracted segment of eardrum is often known as a retraction pocket. The terms “atelectasis” or sometimes “adhesive otitis media” can be used to describe retraction of a large area of the pars tensa. Symptoms of a Retracted Ear Drum : Many people with retracted ear drums experience some hearing loss which often goes away with adequate treatment. Other symptoms vary depending on the cause of ear drum retraction. Causes a Retracted Ear Drum- The following conditions are associated with auditory tube dysfunction and may cause a retracted ear drum: 1) middle ear infections 2) fluid in the ears (also called otitis media with effusion or serous otitis media) 3) auditory tube dysfunction from an upper respiratory infection, chronic allergies, sinusitis, or enlarged adenoids or tonsils which may block the tube 4) a history of chronic rupturing of the ear drum or a ruptured ear drum that does not heal properly A retracted ear drum is a sign of auditory tube dysfunction and the underlying cause needs to be found and treated. If left untreated, negative pressure inside the middle ear can lead to other problems including: 1) erosion of the ear canal 2) erosion of the small bones in the ear (specifically the incus and stapes) and possibly permanent hearing loss 3) cholesteatoma
