Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Hole inbthe ear drum needs to be repaired by an operation called 'tympanoplasty'.
This can be undertaken better by minimal invasive surgery. This is done under microscopic view by ENT Surgeon.
Following taking up of the tissue, it not only gives protection to the structures in middle and inner ear, and also you can expect to improve her hearing than what it is before.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
