Traumatic perforation generally heals in a span of 4 to 6 weeks, depends upon the size of perforation. Hearing again depends upon the type of hearing loss, if it’s conductive and is due to perforation then it will get back to normal once healing is complete.

Health Tips

Avoid water, ear drops or any kind of oil in the affected ear.
