I have a hole in my eardrum from years of tubes. i have hearing loss and a constant blocked feeling.. would a hearing aid help? don't want surgery.

Check with ENT,MD: You need a complete ENT evaluation including hearing test to find the cause of hearing loss and follow his/her recommendations. Tubes in the ears for serous otitis media can leave a scar but do not cause hearing loss and you may have blocked eustacian tube or collection of fluid behind the ear drum or ear wax causing your hearing loss and hearing aid may not be of help.
