The Supreme Courtâs conservative wing displayed skepticism about federal voting rights legislation when it struck down a key section of the landmark Voting Rights Act in 2013, so there are high stakes for the lawsuits in Ohio, North Carolina and elsewhere.
A retracted eardrum is a condition whereby the eardrum is sucked or pulled into the area behind it. This may arise due to low pressure in middle ear area. The eardrum is a thin flexible membrane that separates middle ear from outer ear. It is called the tympanic membrane. Infections may also cause a retracted eardrum.
An eardrum rupture is a small hole or tear in your eardrum, or tympanic membrane. The tympanic membrane is a thin tissue that divides your middle ear and outer ear canal. This membrane vibrates when sound waves enter your ear. The vibration continues through the bones of the middle ear. You hear sounds because of this vibration, so your hearing can suffer if your eardrum is damaged.
