Perforation of ear drum will lead to conductive type of hearing loss and overtime hearing loss will increase. Only treatment available is surgery known as tympanoplasty. You need to keep your ear dry to avoid further infection
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
