I'm dealing with a really bad sinus infection, and while my cough and nasal blockage have gotten better, my ears still feel blocked. Since yesterday, every time I yawn, there's pain either in my throat or mouth, and I can't really pinpoint the exact spot. Could this be related to the cold and blocked ears, or is there something else going on?

I have a hole in my eardrum and my doctor suggested surgery. Is surgery the right option for me? Will it help improve my hearing since I already have 30% hearing loss? I'm a bit nervous about whether it'll work or not.

Surgery helps close eardrum and improve hearing; outcomes depend on size of hole and nerve status‚Äîrisk of no improvement is low if done properly.
