Hello and hope you are doing well.

A hole in the ear drum, makes the ear more susceptible to infections. Moreover this can affect the hearing and so needs to be repaired. Was hearing test done?. The wax in the left ear can be removed and you will have relief from pain.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
