Perforations of tympanic membranes (ear drums) are successfully corrected by Tympanoplasty. This procedure involves generally using temporalis muscle fascia as artificial tympanic membrane.

Yes, an operation like that can help restore hearing but it really depends on why you are losing your hearing.
The surgery you are referring to is usually done for people who have Eustachian Tube Dysfunction.
Typically the doctor will inject some anesthesia into your eardrum, make a tiny cut, and insert a small rubber tube. The tube falls out after a few months and it's not painful.
