A procedure to repair a perforated eardrum — closing the hole to protect your hearing and put a stop to recurrent ear infections and discharge.
At a glance
Overview
A hole in the eardrum that doesn't close on its own can cause repeated infections, discharge and gradual hearing loss. Myringoplasty grafts the perforation closed using your own tissue.
It is a planned, microscope-assisted procedure with a high success rate, after which the ear is protected while the graft heals.
Grafting the eardrum perforation closed to restore the barrier.
Where the small hearing bones are also repaired or reconstructed.
Most cases are short stay, depending on the approach used.

Understanding the procedure
What the surgery addresses
Myringoplasty repairs a hole in the eardrum (shown in terracotta) using a small graft of your own tissue. Closing the perforation protects the middle ear from infection, stops recurring discharge and can improve hearing. It's delicate, precise work done through or around the ear canal.
Recurrent ear infections, discharge and hearing loss caused by a long-standing eardrum perforation.
A small graft (often from tissue near the ear) patches the eardrum; usually through the ear canal or a small incision behind the ear.
General or local with sedation, depending on the repair; typically a day or overnight case.

Your recovery
Recovery is gradual but steady. Here's a realistic picture of the typical path — your own timeline depends on your health, age and procedure.
The ear is packed and protected. Some fullness or muffled hearing is normal as the graft settles.
Keep the ear dry. A review checks the graft is taking. Mild discomfort eases steadily.
The surgeon confirms healing before clearing you to fly — flying is timed carefully around ear surgery.
The graft heals fully and hearing improves over the following weeks.
