Hole in the ear drum needs to be treated by surgery known as tympanoplasty. Both open and endoscopic methods have excellent results if done by an experienced surgeon. Endoscopic approaches have some limitations and can't be done in all cases.
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for more information regarding tympanoplasty and it's outcomes
