How Long Does Ruptured Eardrum Take To Heal?
I ve had a reputed eardrum for 2 weeks but I accidently got it wet. Would that affect the healing rate? Before it got wet, I ve been hearing buzzing sounds. I can still hear out of that ear but compared to the ear that was not ruptured, it works not as good. I still hear buzzing sounds. And how long does it take to heal?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
Entry of water into ear affect the healing and advice you keep ear dry...and generally wound healing is faster in young people,the perforations that do not heal spontaneously after 3-6 months can be considered for surgical repair.,...
hope this helps you..
