Hi I would suggest you to go ahead with myringoplasty as it has been already 8 months and no healing has happened...and I don't think if it hasn't healed in 8 months it will in future on its own. Regards

There is a very less chance that it would heal. A tympanic membrane perforation heals by 6-8 weeks. If not healed in 9 months, surgery may be a better option for you.
