Explanation

The right eardrum is a part of the ear that is located in the right ear. It is a thin layer of tissue that separates the outer ear from the middle ear. It plays a crucial role in hearing by vibrating when sound waves hit it, which then sends these vibrations to the inner ear. Damage or infection to the right eardrum can cause hearing problems.
