I have been diagnosed with a perorated ear drum by an ENT. Although it feels like I can t hear I did pass a hearing test. I have persistant ringing and drumming in my ear. It constantly feels blocked up. I also now have been having headaches everyday that are not relieved with Tylenol or Advil. I was told my perforation is large about 1/3 of my ear drum. This has been since early July and hasn t healed on it own. I am trying to get some direction here. Should I have surgical repair or give more time to heal? Please help. Thanks.
