== Additional Info ==

*~~can occur~~ as a result of otitis media (ear infection), ~~trauma~~ (~~e.g. by trying to clean the ear with sharp instruments~~), ~~explosion~~, ~~loud noise or surgery (accidental creation of a rupture). Flying with a severe cold can also cause perforation due to changes in air pressure and blocked eustachian tubes resulting from the cold.~~

*This code is for NONTRAUMATIC perforation -- as may result from otitis externa or otitis media(ear infection)

*When the perforation is due to trauma, instead use code '''[[Eardrum (tympanic membrane), rupture, injury/trauma]]'''

== Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition ==
