###Human: Is it possible for ear perforation to heal on its own again? ###Assistant: Hello. First of all, tympanic membrane is anchored to bone and does not move up and down but moves inward and outward because of sound. Secondly, it is placed 2.5 cm from external ear orifice and cannot be moved with a finger. Since you had a perforation two years back, it might not have healed at all. The other symptom you are talking about is tinnitus. It is possible to have in presence of a perforation. You should get the ear examined. Also, I would like to know if you have any discharge now.
