A member asked:
Could muffled hearing from a perferated ear drum heal its self?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: The size of the perforation is critically important. A perforation of less than 3 mm. often can heal spontaneously. But it is imperative to know if there is any chronic middle ear infection. If a small traumatic perforation is present in the absence of infection, the perforation may heal itself.
