Did tympanoplasty in left ear in 2006 due to infection and hear loss..rt ear drum has hole and infection.conductive hearing loss.time for hearing aid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tympanoplasty : If you have a hole and recurring drainage a hearing aid will probably make that worse and the hearing will be getting blocked up by the drainage. Actually sounds like you need a tympanoplasty if you still have hearing loss after it heals then get an aid.
