Hi, Please suggest. What is the line of treatment for ruptured ear drum? My mother has this since her childhood. She faces bleeding twice a year. Is it really necessary for her to undergo surgery? One doctor has suggested her �tympanoplasty with canalplasty and mastoidectomy surgery. Please provide an opinion.
