8. Surgical Treatments for Ruptured Eardrum

If a ruptured eardrum isn't healing on its own or with other treatment methods, the ENT may recommend a surgery called tympanoplasty. The surgeon uses a tissue graft of the patient's own tissue to patch the hole. This is usually an outpatient procedure and doesn't require an extended hospital stay.
