I have hearing loss and my doctor recommended ear surgery because there's some damage to the layers in my ear and a small hole. Is there any alternative to surgery? Can homeopathy help repair this or should I see a good homeopathic doctor? Here are my test results what do you suggest?

The recommended ear surgery likely refers to tympanoplasty, a procedure to repair a damaged eardrum (tympanic membrane). This surgery can improve hearing, especially if a hole in the eardrum (perforation) or damage to the surrounding layers is causing hearing loss. Tympanoplasty involves using a graft (tissue or synthetic material) to patch or reconstruct the damaged eardrum.
