I am 27 years old, my right ear has a hole on eardrum. Two months back I came to know about it, when I went to ENT clinic for earache. Doctor found ear wax with infection around it, she had removed the wax and found the hole on eardrum. For earache she had given me antibiotics and with those my pain has reduced, but 15 days later discharge started coming from the ear. So I again went to same clinic and she suggested surgery. But I decided to take aurvedic treatment to heal it naturally. Since then I am taking aurvedic treatment. Now ear discharge has reduced upto 80 percent and hearing capacity also improved. Last week I again went to ENT Doctor to do ear endoscopy. I told her about my aurvedic treatment, on which she told me that this is fine if you do aurvedic treatment. But with aurvedic treatment ear will not get heal because 60 percent eardrum is perforated. Now my question is does aurvedic treatment help me to heal perforated eardrum or should I have to operate.

Ayurvedic treatment definitely won't help..if it's under 6 months that you've been having the perforation..it may heal naturally even without ayurvedic treatment.. but if it has been over 6 months it's unlikely it will heal
Next Steps
.. since you're not sure of the duration of the perforation.. wait and watch for 4 months before deciding to go for surgery
