You seem to be suffering from chronic otitis media which is a common type of middle ear infection. Usually it is not associated with pain and symptoms would be ear discharge and hearing loss. If there is persistent hole in the ear drum the surgery is the only option
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
