Indiscretion with ear membrane

Written by: Mohammad Nasir Sirat

The ear is one of the major organs of the human body and Learning has also a close relation with hearing. When a problem affects hearing, it might affect learning too, but some people in Afghanistan do not pay attention to their ear and this incautiousness creates some problem for them.

The writer/producer of AEPO has talked to some patients and a specialist of ear and nose diseases in one of the private hospitals in Kabul city.

Parviz, a resident of Qarabagh, district of Kabul province says: I had a car accident and blood came from my ear. I tried to clean my earwax with a sharp stick, but it ruptured my eardrum.

Another patient says that he was listening to a radio in an earphone, the voice of the radio was so loud that it ruptured his eardrum.

Doctor Mohammad Sharif Sailani, says: Indiscretion with eardrum causes a headache, hearing irregular voices and at the result, it might cause rupture of ear membrane.

The rupture of eardrums in teenagers could be treated by medicines, but elders need to have a surgical operation.

In order to prevent the rupture of ear membrane, we should not swim in dirty water and avoid entering any sharp stick into our ears. If some people face ear problems, they should visit ear specialist as soon as they could.
