Ear Drum Surgery
3-4 years back my left ear drum got ruptured due to infection during raininy season. I have visited few doctors and many suggested for surgery although hearing loss is not much significant right now but can be more gradually. I am a bit scare of surgery as doctor will cut external portion of my ear for that. I wpuld like to know if it can be done without external cut or not?
