Call the Police

Leave immediately.

1. Call 911
2. Seek medical and police attention.
3. If it was intentional…do not go home to your husband. Get the police to escort you and get some things to go to a friend or relative’s home until you can figure out what to do.
4. Do not accept a feeble apology…it will happen again, and the next time it may be more than eardrums that are damaged.

5. Don’t be a troll…ever.

If this is a domestic abuse problem, your eardrums are the least of your worries.
To answer your question, probably. Timpanic membranes do not usually heal by themselves, and if they do heal, they do not heal correctly so as to facilitate your hearing the way it was. Surgery will have to be performed.

Hi @meenakshi and welcome to fluther. Could we have a little more information please – this was a very dramatic question. Thanks. {{{hugs}}}

Unless you provide more information, people may not take this seriously…at the risk of this being nonsense, I say; If this is a recent injury, call the cops.
If not, see a doc.
If both, get a lawyer.
We’re of no help to you in the end.

And your first impulse is to ask this question online instead of seeking assistance from the police and/or medical authorities?

Oh…just checking…

Seek medical assistance immediately. You can always call the cops from the ER.

To answer your specific question, without surgical repair you may have serious ear infections. I had to have my right membrane repaired after it was ruptured by an explosion.

Second issue. Was this an accident of abuse? Be honest with yourself. If the answer is “yes”, get the hell out of there. He may take your life next. Abuse almost always gets worse over time, no matter how profuse the apologies. Get the police involved.

Third issue. Welcome to Fluther! ((hugs)). +GA

Lets discuss how your ears came to this point, instead of how to restore your hearing. i can only assume that you were assaulted by your husband and this is the reason for the damages to your eardrums. i am sure you are aware that this is assault/domestic violence. were the police called? you did not advise in your question. if your husband caused this condition, he should have been arrested. you may never regain your hearing. if the police were not called, call them now. this is a serious physical injury and your husband will be arrested.

@SABOTEUR LOL! I was about to write the same thing.

@meenakshi, on the off chance that your culture forbids you from reporting your husband,
remember that if you explain how your eardrums got ruptured at the hospital, the police will be called. So you have to choose whether to tell that or not. This may be a big challenge.
Do you have a friend who can walk with you through these decisions and actions?
