Hello doctor, I am 31 year old. I accidentally ruptured my eardrum with ear bud and I did not notice it until it was infected. When I consulted ENT specialist he told me about hole in my eardrum and also gave medicine to treat infection. As I do not have any problem of tinnitus, pain or any other severe problems he suggested me to wait for healing of eardrum by itself. It has been almost a year still my ruptured year is not healed. Slight hearing loss is there and puss discharge is there. I do not have any pain or any severe problem. Should I give it little more time to heal it by itself as I am not facing any problem or should I go for surgery? Please suggest me.
