Tympanoplasty is recommended when there is a long-standing hole in the eardrum that does not heal on its own. This problem often develops because of repeated ear infections, injury to the ear, or previous ear surgery. People usually visit a doctor with complaints such as reduced hearing, discharge from the ear, repeated infections, or occasional pain. The ENT specialist examines the ear using an otoscope to clearly see the perforation. Hearing tests are commonly advised to check how much hearing has been affected and to assess the condition of the middle ear. In certain cases, a CT scan may be suggested if there is a suspicion of deeper infection or other complications.

Tympanoplasty is a surgical operation done to close the hole in the eardrum and improve hearing. It is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the case and the patient’s condition. During the surgery, the doctor takes a small piece of tissue, usually from behind the ear, and uses it as a graft to cover the perforation. The procedure may be done through the ear canal or through a small cut made behind the ear. After placing the graft properly, the ear is packed with dressing to support healing. Most patients are discharged the same day, and recovery takes a few weeks, with gradual improvement in hearing.
