A member asked:
I have a retracted eardrum from a fired gunshot, will it heal and return to its natural position and will i regain my hearing or is this permanent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Retracted TM: Suggest seeing ENT, get audiogram. Keep ear dry , more like to have TM perforation than TM retraction.
