There are three: myringoplasty or tympanoplasty or ossiculoplasty. These can be lumped together.

Myringoplasty: If the hole or tear in your eardrum is small, your doctor may first try to patch the hole with gel or a paper-like tissue.

Tympanoplasty: performed if the hole in your eardrum is large or if you have a chronic ear infection
that cannot be cured with antibiotics.

Ossiculoplasty: performed if the three tiny bones of your middle ear have been damaged by ear infections or trauma.
