Ear Drum Rupture. How Long Can It Last?

Hey everyone,

Quick question. My doctor told me I show signs of some ear drum rupture in one ear. This has been going on for approx. 3 months and I'm waiting for the ENT appointment in March.

Now I was wondering how long ear drum rupture can last and what can be done to maximize chances of healing? I'm a bit worries because it takes so long and the healing has been a 3 steps forward, 2 steps back process.

For me healing the ear drum is more important than the tinnitus itself. I already have somatic tinnitus, so it's not the only cause and I'm pretty much used to it. I care way more for the health of my ears.

All tips and advice are welcome
