A member asked:

How can i know if my perforated eardrum is healing, not getting worse? (assuming i just want to self-check)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need a doctor : Need a doctor to look in your ear and check it. It is impossible for you to look in your own ear and you would need you what you were looking for.
