What is burst eardrum?

In: Head Ears and Nose [Edit categories]

Answer:

A burst eardrum is when the thin flap of skin in your ear leading towards your cochlea vibrates too much and tears, this causes the liquid from your cochlea to flow out of your ear, this can be very painful and lead to not being able to work out which way up you are as the liquid inside your cochlea tells you what way up you are by settling.
