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.
In most cases, the retracted eardrum is not a serious condition and the Eustachian tubes may clear by themselves, and therefore treatment may not be required. However, if an infection is associated with this condition, then treatment may be needed to cure the infection and prevent further complications.
