I'm worried about a hole in my eardrum on the left side. There's no pain or irritation, but I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible. Can eardrums heal on their own without surgery? Also, how long does it typically take for treatment?

If your ear drum has perforation that needs to be closed no other option,if left untreated that would lead to reinfection or may also cause hearing impairement.
