After surgery to reconstruct ear drum sometimes there may not be complete recovery of hearing loss because of other associated problems in the middle ear bones or inner ear problems. You need to undergo detailed audiological evaluation to identify cause for your hearing loss. If middle ear ossicles are involved revision surgery may help
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
