I work in a noisy environment, and my doctor said I need tympanoplasty. I am worried about how much time I’ll need to rest after surgery and when I can return to work without harming my recovery.

Most people need about two to three weeks of rest before resuming work, depending on how they feel and the type of job. Since you work in a noisy place, it is important to avoid exposure to very loud sounds or dirty environments until the ear has healed. Your doctor will check the ear in follow-up visits and guide you on when it is safe to return fully.
