Diagnosis
An ENT doctor or surgeon can diagnose the perforation of the ear in a physical examination using an otoscope, an instrument that has a magnifier with a light, designed to look inside the ear. Other tests may include:
- Auditory Testing: An audiologist checks a patients’ hearing in each ear, using sounds of varying volume and frequency.
- Computed Tomography (CT scan): A CT scanner uses X-rays and a computer to create images of the ears and surrounding structures.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Using radio waves in a magnetic field, a scanner creates high-resolution images of the ears and surrounding structures.
Treatment
If the symptoms are not very severe, most eardrums heal within a week’s time. The ENT surgeon is likely to prescribe a few antibiotic ear drops. if the eardrum does not heal by itself, your ENT surgeon may use any of the following procedures to treat the perforated eardrum.
- Tympanoplasty – Tympanoplasty is the most common surgical procedure to treat a perforated eardrum. In this process, the ENT surgeon grafts a patch of your own tissue to close the perforated or ruptured eardrum. Tympanoplasty is done on an outpatient basis and once the process is done, the patient can go home.
- Eardrum patch – In case the eardrum hole or the perforation does not heal on its own, the ENT surgeon may use a paper patch to seal it. The ENT surgeon may use chemicals to treat the eardrum and then apply a patch on the hole.

What are the complications of perforated eardrum?
The eardrum enables us to hear sounds. Any damage in the eardrum can cause trouble hearing. Usually, eardrum perforation gets healed on its own. The eardrum acts as a barrier and protects the middle and inner ear from any damage from and also prevents water from entering the ear. If the bacteria accumulates or water gets clogged in the ear, it can result in hearing loss. If not treated well on time, hearing loss can be accompanied by purulent discharge and severe earache. Eardrum perforation can also lead to a skin cyst called cholesteatoma. When the debris in the ear canal gets into the middle ear, it causes cholesteatoma. If not treated on time, the condition can damage the middle ear bones and lead to eardrum complications.

Is tympanoplasty safe?
Tympanoplasty is the surgical procedure to repair a ruptured or perforated eardrum by placing a graft. The goal of tympanoplasty is not just to close the graft by also to aid hearing.
Tympanoplasty is a very safe and effective surgery to eradicate the middle ear problem and also to restore hearing. ENT surgeons rely on the technique to treat ruptured eardrums due to a high success rate. With the advances in medical technologies, a number of grafting materials are available today. A thorough diagnosis of the ear problem and careful placement of the graft and thoughtful planning of the surgery can lead to the paramount success of tympanoplasty.
Tympanoplasty is a very safe surgery and nil to very minimal complications. On rare occasions, tympanoplasty may cause pain in the ear, trouble breathing, facial swelling, and fever. But, if tympanoplasty is performed by experienced ENT surgeons, even the least possible complications can be eradicated and the patient can highly benefit from tympanoplasty surgery.
What to expect after tympanoplasty surgery?
The ENT surgeon is likely to instruct you about how to take care of the ear after tympanoplasty.
- You should avoid blowing your nose.
- You should avoid sneezing with an open mouth.
- You should avoid water from entering the ear.
- You should apply eardrops which are recommended by the doctor.
You may have the following symptoms for almost a week after tympanoplasty surgery.
- A small amount of bloody discharge from the ear
- mild pain in the ear which should get better with medicine
- feeling of fullness in the ear
In many cases, these symptoms disappear within the next few days and the person can get back to normal life without any problem.
