Ruptured eardrums are relatively common, and in terms of repair, the first thing you need to look at is the extent of the rupture and the time of the eardrum. If the eardrum perforation is relatively small, the time is relatively short, this situation may be able to recover by itself, but need to keep the external ear canal dry, can not enter the water, try to avoid colds, can not be infected and inflamed. If you have an infection, you need to consider antibiotics to fight the infection.

If the eardrum is perforated for a long time, or if the perforation does not recover on its own, surgery should be considered. Currently, the more commonly used options are endoscopic eardrum repair surgery or microscopic ear mold repair surgery. The specific surgical plan should be determined after a consultation with an ENT doctor, taking into account the degree of the patient's condition and the cause of the eardrum perforation. There are several ways to treat a broken eardrum. If it is a traumatic eardrum perforation caused by an impact on the eardrum from an external force, the first step of the treatment in this case is to observe the situation, keep the external ear canal dry, and most of the traumatic eardrum perforations will heal naturally within two months or so without infection. If the perforation is large and has not healed after two months, it is recommended to perform otoscopic or microscopic eardrum repair under general anesthesia as soon as possible. If it is a long history of chronic otitis media, the eardrum formed a permanent perforation, this situation should be carried out under general anesthesia under the endoscopic or microscopic eardrum repair, the most commonly used repair material is the autologous temporal muscle fascia or the ear screen cartilage, usually using the built-in method of repairing the eardrum, and after a period of time after the operation, the newborn eardrum repair is successful, and the hearing has been very good improvement.
