After operation
Hi doctors, Last month at 19th November I went through a eardrum surgery which was microear surgery with cut and scar. Even after more than 1 month my hearing capacity is less. I had problems with both ears but now I have make surgery with only one ear. Hearing capacity of operated ear is now less than other without operated ear. Before operation there was hearing loss was about 30 decible in both ear. The doctor who operated it saying that it will recover slowly. Even tinnitus is still there in operated ear. I'm very much disappointed by the treatment which I get through that doctor. I checked with other doctor that how my eardrum looks like after surgery then I find that it is somewhat bind towards inner side and he suggested me to take steam for that only. Kindly help me here if anyone can do. I live in NCR but I make my ear operated at my hometown bareilly because of family's recommendation. Kindly suggest something here for it and I have to go for another surgery for 2nd eardrum

I would like to inform you that after operation you need to wait for at least 1 and half month for the improvement. At times operating surgeon put some gelfoam inside the middle ear as a support for the neotympanic membrane. This gelfoam causes reduce hearing. But as it get absorbed on itself after 1 and half month,  your hearing improves.
Next Steps
wait and be patience. continue medicine as prescribed by doctor.

Sir first of all u need to get an oto endoscopic examination of ua ear done to exactly know the condition of ua neotympanum. Then get a pta done to know the hearing status and type, cuz sometimes post surgery u can have sensorineural hearing deficit also. Meanwhile take nasal decongestant and avoid blowing nose, keep ear dry
