I had to have my eardrum pierced.
The noise was so intense that the only way to communicate was to shout at the top of one's voice within a few inches of someone's eardrum.
He received black eyes, a broken nose, perforated eardrums, a broken tooth and innumerable bruises.
He said that he had suffered from ear trouble, but not that he had a perforated eardrum.
I have a slight impediment in my hearing as a result of diving too deeply and breaking an eardrum.
The advance press release states that ruptured eardrums are one of the most serious injuries and could not possibly be self-inflicted.
However, the silence on these matters is ringing in the eardrums.
That is not inconsiderable for both the eardrums and the general enjoyment of life.
