Under general anesthesia while deep asleep and pain-free, an ear-nose-throat specialist grafts a small patch from a vein onto the eardrum to repair the tear. For problems with the small bones (ossicles), the surgeon will use an operating microscope to view and repair the chain of small bones using plastic devices or ossicles from a donor.
