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.
If a doctor has told you that you have a retracted ear drum you may be wondering what this means. Saying your eardrum is retracted is another way of saying that your ear drum, which is also called the tympanic membrane, appears to be sucked backwards or concave. Medical professionals may also call a retracted ear drum middle ear atelectasis.
