I have a hole in my ear and it hurts a lot sometimes. Can it heal on its own without surgery? What should I do about the pain?

Yes, a hole in the eardrum (perforated eardrum) often heals on its own without surgery, especially if it's a small hole. You'll want to keep the ear dry and protected while it heals, and over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help with pain
