Yes,may not need sur: Most eardrum perforations heal on their own and do not require surgery. Surgery may be needed if it is a large perforation that does not heal on its own. Once it is healed your hearing should return to normal and you will be able to swim. See http://www.entnet.org/content/perforated-eardrum for more information.
