My brother was involved in a tow-in surfing accident on Wednesday, and tore his eardrum. The doctor said he couldn't see any ear drum at all left, and set him up with an appointment at an ear specialist. It's possible that my brother may need surgery to regain hearing in that ear.

How in the world did he tear his eardrum? I hope everything is ok in the end though.

tow-in surfing accident? What is that?

Hope he is able to hear in that ear later on.

Tow-in surfing is when a seadoo or small boat tows you further out to sea in order to catch very large waves as they form.
