ear drum
ear drum
Noun
pl: ear drums
This term refers specifically to the tympanic membrane. In medical or clinical settings, the term "tympanic membrane" is preferred for its precision, whereas "ear drum" is the standard term used in general conversation and patient communication.
Because it is a physical anatomical structure, it is treated as a countable noun. A person has two ear drums, and medical reports may describe a rupture or perforation in one or both of these membranes.
