Hi, a dull ear drum can be because of scabs over the ear drum or fluid inside the middle ear. Please go ahead with impedence audiometry in consultation with your ENT. If examination shows debris, needs cleaning. If it shows a restricted movement of ear drum, there is possibility of fluid in the middle ear and can be treated with myringotomy and grommet insertion. Regards
