Frequently Asked Questions
Can a perforated eardrum heal naturally without surgery?
Small acute perforations caused by minor trauma often heal spontaneously within weeks under dry ear precautions. However, chronic perforations or those associated with recurrent discharge typically require surgical closure (tympanoplasty) to restore hearing and prevent deep ear infections.
What is micro-suction ear cleaning?
Micro-suction is the international gold standard for ear cleaning. Under direct stereoscopic microscopic vision, a specialized delicate suction probe removes wax, fungal debris, or discharge safely without water irrigation, minimizing infection risk.
