Eardrum replacement

Mine started as an ear infection and a Dr at my regular Dr office was cleaning it for the 3rd week and tore it (my opinion). The tear was never mentioned but he felt I should see a specialist and in 10 seconds the specialist said I has a fungal infection and a torn drum. This was Feb. Still working on it. My hearing is 70% compared to the good ear but still has a small hole. Have to be careful not to get water in it so limited fun with the grandkids in the pool.
Never heard of Meniere's but doesn't sound good. Maybe they will figure something out. I had a little vertigo with the infection but nothing since.
My dad always said getting old is not for sissies. Starting to understand what he meant.
