An ear infection is the number one cause of this.
Most of which can be treated with antibiotics if not clearing out on its own..

What if there is insufficient fluid to use in the identification of the bacteria that caused mastoiditis?
If there is no fluid available, a tiny needle can be used to obtain a sample of the fluid which has accumulated behind the eardrum.
When you hear sound which vibrates first. Your eardrum or the fluid in the cochlea?
Sound begins at the eardrum and ends at the brain.
The placement of what tubes through the eardrum is to provide ongoing drainage for fluid?
tympanostomy tubes
What takes sound waves from the inner ear to the brain?
Sound travels in waves. Our ears pick up these waves and funnel them to the eardrum. The eardrum interprets them as vibrations. These vibrations pass through the eardrum, into the inner ear via the hammer, anvil, and stirrup bones. This causes fluid in the inner ear to bend tiny hairs which convert the vibrations into nerve impulses. The auditory nerve then sends the signals to the brain, which converts them again into the sound of what is heard.
What causes the auditory ossicles to vibrate?
The sound waves, coming through the auditory canal, strike the tympanic membrane (eardrum).The eardrum vibrates because of the soundwaves.This vibration is picked up by the ossicles and transmitted through the middle ear to the oval window.Therefore it is the soundwaves causing the eardrum to vibrate that ultimately makes the ossicles vibrate.

What causes an eardrum to rupture?
high pitched noses cause that
The placement of what tubes through the eardrum is to provide ongoing drainage for fluid?
tympanostomy tubes
What part in the ear is filled with a liquid?
The fluid in the internal ear is called perilymph.
What causes a whistling sound in the head?
Blood coursing through the ear or eardrum
Is tympanostomy the surgical incision of the eardrum to create an opening for the placement of tympanostomy tubes?
A surgical incision of the eardrum is known as a myringotomy. The hole left behind is known as a myringostomy.
You have an ear infection with fluid behind your eardrum How do you get the fluid out quickly?
Doctors in the old days used to puncture the eardrum with a needle in order to relieve the pressure. The problem of this procedure is that it some times causes scarring of the tissue when it reforms, of which can lead to lessened hearing ability. Doctors in Scandinavia these days mostly wait until the eardrum ruptures on its own. It is painful, but when it heals again afterwards, it causes less scar tissue and seldom further problems with the ability to hear or sensitivity to sounds. In any case, you should not perform any action in your ear your self. This should be done by a doctor with experience. You could be doing more damage than good if you start poking around in there with any equipment but your own elbow. You might be in pain for a few days, but I suppose that is better than being hearing impaired for life.
What can cause a eardrum to rupture?
Many many things. Very loud music, cold/infections/viruses etc. Personally mine burst due to a ear infection/virus, because of fluid behind my ear building up. Its completely painless and nothing to worry about but there is a small amount of discharge fluid.
The malleus incus and stapers conduct vibrations from the eardrum to what?
The three auditory ossicles amplify and transmit sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window, and thus into the fluid environment of the inner ear.
Fluid behind eardrum cause and cure?
This type of ear infection is called otitis media. It usually requires antibiotic treatment in order for resolution to occur. However, with recurrent infections, especially in young children, tubes sometimes need to be placed through the eardrum in order to drain the excess fluid. This surgical procedure, performed by an ENT surgeeon (Ear, Nose and Throat surgeon, or otorhinolaryngologist) is termed a myringotomy with tubes surgery.
Does sound go through your ears?
Yes, sound is recognized by the brain through your ears. When you hear a sound, it enters the ear canal to the eardrum. The eardrum causes small bones to vibrate, which causes tiny hairs to send signals to the brain.
