You seem to be having chronic otitis media which is a common type of middle ear infection with perforation of ear drum. You can get surgery done at your age. Slowly size of the perforation may increase. Though there is no urgency in getting surgery done routine care needs to be taken before you undergo surgery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
