Bleeding or infection in the ear or in the wound Failure of the repair. Persistence of the tympanic membrane perforation may occur and may require further surgery

Recurrence of the tympanic membrane perforation may occur and may require further surgery Ringing (tinnitus) or dizziness may occur and may be temporary permanent Failure to improve hearing. An improvement in hearing may not be apparent despite the surgery being successful in repairing the hole Altered sensation of taste may occasionally occur Intracranial complications are rare Partial loss of hearing or total loss of hearing may rarely occur Temporary loss of sensation to pinna. Temporary or permanent paralysis of the muscles of the face may rarely occur Abnormal scar tissue formation. This may result in a thickened, wide red scar which may require further surgery
