Hello lybrate-user,
If You are having Ear Drum Perforation and Now you don't have any Ear problem apart from Hearing loss then Myringoplasty (Ear drum Repair surgery) will be the best option for you to decrease your Hearing loss.
Degree of Hearing loss due to ear drum perforation can be calculated by Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) Test.

If its a healed rupture of ear drum, then its difficult to refill the hole. It may reduce hearing capability too. If its associated with repeated infections, secretions from ear, cholesteatoma, or annoying hearing problem then a minor surgery called myringoplasty is recommended. Please consult a good ent specialist. Thank you.

Yes operation (myringoplasty) is needed to correct hole in the ear but for this ear should be dry means non-infected. Avoid water entry in the ear.

For what reason operation was done? was that simple ear drum reconstruction (myringoplasty) or mastoid surgery? it can be due to bppv also which can be diagnosed and treated by a manouvre/exercise. Giddiness may also be due to some ear infection/disease (cholesteatoma) damaging the balance organ of ear. U should consult an ent specialist to find out any underlying pathology.

It depends on the size of hole. If it is small then there are chances of self healing with conservative management and few precautions but if large and associated with hearing loss one has to go for operation (myringoplasty). Its not a very big procedure and done under local anaesthesia with no major post op complications. First u need to get an audiometry done to know the amount of hearing loss. U can send me the reports.

This is due to perforation in the ear drum and secondary bacterial infection. Surgery(myringoplasty) is done for correction of such perforation but before that ear should be dry. Start tab. Augmentin 625 mg three times a day, tab. Lcz 5 mg daily at bed time and oflobe-d ear drops 3-3-3 for 1 week. Don' t allow water to enter into ear. Let me know after that.

Hello and welcome to Lybrate. First of all I would like to assure you that you need not worry and it's fully curable. From your history, I guess that you might be suffering from ASOM. The pain, it generally subsides after the discharge starts .The hole in ear drum, it will gradually starts healing once the discharge stops and completes approx by 3 months.
