A member asked:
Is it permanent if you puncture your ear and lose your hearing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, not always.: It sounds like your eardrum ruptured. It should grow back, kinda like a fingernail. However, please make sure you are under the care of a good Otolaryngologist (ENT) to make sure things are going as expected.
