Hi there see this is not pin point perforation which will Heal in short interval . Detailed evaluation to be done through endoscopy .

Margins of your perforation doesn't look traumatic ; but still in case of traumatic performations no ear drops, no oil , no water in the ear it will increase the risk of infection and we have keep ear dry it will heal in 4-8 weeks consult ENT nearby, its a case of trauma get ur hearing evaluated and if hearing is normal the doctor will patch it with paper patch which will promote healing

this perforation is not look like happened due to hurt, it is old perforation with infection due to swimming pool dirty water

Healing is natural only if there is no infection so proper microscopic cleaning of any debris and examination is important

If its a traumatic perforation with otomycosis - very likely the edges will heal itself over sometime However make sure you keep ur ear dry Avoid cold food stuff Follow up withENT doctor in next 3-4 weeks to see if if is healing or not

Hi Really sad to hear about the unfortunate event. Just save it from water as well as ear drops as currently I don't see any sign of infection. The redness is just the start of local healing process . The size is on a bigger side but have seen even large perforations getting healed easily after 4 weeks mostly

If it's traumatic perforation and recently happen, can heal , wait for atleast 4 to 8 week . If not healed then surgery required.

Don't put any kind of ear drops. Keep your ear dry. Because the perforation is fresh, it might take 3 weeks to few months to either completely heal or reduce its size

Surgery advised my fr

It takes long time for the perforation to fill , as the healing of tympanic membrane is very slow.

Traumatic ear perforation heals on its own if there is no infection. Keep ear dry. No home remedies No ear drops
