Hi,
Retracted ear drum is due to dysfunction of Eustachian tubes which in turn can be due to sinusitis, deviated nasal septum. Forced fluid from nose and pharynx due to over-blowing of nose, cold and viral might have caused the fluid development in the middle ear; the raised pressure causing perforation of eardrum.
Since there is a history of ear surgery yet the problem of disturbing in is going on I would advise you the following:
*Audiometry.
* CT scan of the mastoids and sinuses
* Relevant tests of blood
* Second opinion of another ENT Surgeon well trained in ear problems and all these will help to get an exact cause and get treated accordingly. Avoid blowing of nose. Use nasal decongestant nasal drops.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
