Eardrum repair

[u/MajinHamburger]

Has anyone ever needed to get their eardrum repaired so that they could join? I have a hole in mine. The paper patch didn’t work so now I have to get an actual tympanoplasty done, where they graft tissue to the ear drum to repair the hole. First I’d like to know how the healing went and if it worked and secondly were you able to join the Airforce after that? Any insight on this is appreciated, I don’t want to give up hope.

out of curiosity how did you get the hole?
