Just out of curiousity, if you have a ruptured eardrum and it's not infected or anything, is it possible it can heal and it own and hearing can recover fully?

If the total area of perforation is less than 25%, the eardrum will heal on its own most times. If the area is >25%, this should be monitored by a physician +/- application of antibiotic eardrops.

im not a doctor but hearing problem was my research's subject.
what i know is if u got infected ear than there's a possibility to heal, u can make it better with some medicines. but about a ruptured eardrum im not really sure if it's possible to heal. maybe if it's not too bad than it'll heal but im not really sure it depends... how can u get ruptured eardrum ???
my lecturer who was a doctor said that now there's a operation that could fix damaged eardrum..
what u have to do now is to go to doctor just to make sure...
that's the best i advice i could give u now...
hope it'll heal soon :)

yes, i had problems with my ears when i was younger i had gromits in place twice, i have had my eardrums burst on me a few times and it was EXTREMELY painfull, i used to wake up with it hurting really bad, id be crying with the pain and eventually it would pop it was such a relief when it happened, i dont know if they fully heal because i already had problems with hearing before this used to happen and my hearing isnt the best now.
