Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Torn eardrum can be repaired by means of an operation called 'tympanoplasty.' It is a safe procedure and is usually performed under local anesthesia. By getting it done, the risk of infection inside the ear reduces and also helps to improve hearing.
You need to consult ENT specialist in this regard for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
