English term or phrase: bruised eardrum
the doctor diagnoses a severely bruised eardrum and a sinus infection.

contexte : blessure d'un plongeur. Je cherche un verbe qui pourrait coller dans ce contexte. je pensais à "tympan abîmé" mais ça ne me semble pas idéal. Une suggestion ?
(la place dont je dispose est réduite, ce doit être un verbe relativement court mais suffisament explicite).
