Tympanoplasty
A specialized surgical procedure performed to repair a ruptured or perforated eardrum (tympanic membrane) and, if necessary, the tiny bones of the middle ear. This surgery restores hearing function and creates a safe, closed middle ear to prevent recurrent infections.

Who Needs a Tympanoplasty?
Eardrum repair is highly recommended for patients experiencing:
Perforated Eardrum
A hole or tear in the eardrum that hasn't healed naturally after trauma or infection.
Chronic Ear Infections
Persistent middle ear infections (Otitis Media) causing ongoing pain and damage.
Hearing Loss
Conductive hearing loss caused by the eardrum's inability to vibrate properly.
Chronic Ear Discharge
Continuous or recurring fluid or pus leaking from the ear.

Your Hearing Recovery Timeline
Post-Surgery Care
The ear is packed with protective dressing. Mild earache and popping sounds are normal. Patients go home the same day or the next.
Keeping it Dry
Strict precautions are taken to keep water out of the ear. The external packing is removed by the doctor during a follow-up.
Full Healing
The internal graft fully integrates with the eardrum. A final hearing test is conducted to measure the improvement.
Life After Tympanoplasty
Clear Conversations
No more asking people to repeat themselves or struggling to hear in noisy rooms.
Water Safe
Shower, bathe, and eventually swim without the fear of triggering a painful infection.
No More Ear Drops
Say goodbye to constant courses of antibiotic drops for chronic discharge.
Peace of Mind
Enjoy windy days and outdoor activities without ear discomfort.
