Hello!!
Dear, Thanks for referring to HCM.
I have been through your query and understand regarding your concern.
As you have mentioned you have had past infection in ear, it is most probable that you may have a perforated ear tympanum, this will lead some
hearing loss. But in many cases it heals on itself with time.
if you still have hearing loss and other symptoms like pain ,
ear discharge then it indicates you have recurrent infections and you need to be treated with medications. Even a perforated tympanum can be reconstructed.
so you need not worry much.
To make sure of your condition , you need to get your ear examination done physically.
Constant and prolong usage of earphones and mobile phones have added to these conditions. it is hence advisable to minimise their usage.
hope i have helped you.Tc
contact me for further queries.
with best regards,
Dr.Suhas Chauhan.
