Thank you for your question — it's completely natural to seek experiences and recovery insights before undergoing eardrum repair (tympanoplasty). As a surgeon, I can offer some clinical perspective while highlighting what most patients experience during recovery.
👂 Understanding Eardrum Repair (Tympanoplasty):
Tympanoplasty is performed to repair a perforation in the eardrum, restore middle ear function, and improve hearing. It’s a relatively safe procedure when done by an experienced ENT surgeon, and has a good success rate when proper post-op care is followed.

Weeks 2–4: Gradual improvement; most resume normal routines by week 3. Follow-up visit typically includes ear pack removal.
Full Recovery: Hearing improvement is noticeable within 4–6 weeks, with complete internal healing taking a few months.
