hello and welcome to health care magic,
You need to understand that the only treatment for a hole in the drum is an ear surgery but if the ear with the hole is the better hearing ear then it should be done only if very very necessary.
In any case you must get an audiometry testing along with HRCT of the temporal bones done and get back to me or any ENT with the report so that a proper treatment plan can be done
