-*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]]'''
