hi
don't worry about getting operated .
if u have a discharging ear since many years , its mandatory to get operated .
but first u have to use antibiotics for a week and need to keep ur ear dry for 3 months . then get operated .
operation is easy if ur ear is dry for 3 months .
surgery improves ur hearing to some extent .
but if not operated hearing will be slowly deteriorated .
