Josh Ford undergoes eardrum surgery

Josh Ford is on the road to recovery after undergoing a series of medical procedures, including surgery on his eardrum.

On Facebook, Josh shared an update with fans, revealing that he recently underwent septoplasty, uncinectomy, polypectomy, left turbinectomy, and left myringoplasty, a procedure performed to repair a perforated eardrum.

“Thank You Lord for a successful surgery. Praying for a smooth recovery and better days ahead,” he wrote.

Fans and supporters quickly flooded the comments section with well wishes, hoping for his speedy healing and return to work.

“We're so happy for you and your family Joshy!!! Praying for your fast recovery, brave man!!!” a user said.

Josh has a perforated ear drum after the tragic car accident that took the life of his fellow actor Andrei Sison and two others back in 2023.

The former “PBB Celebrity Collab 1.0” housemate was the only survivor of the crash.

Previously, Josh told GMA News Online in an August 2025 interview that he is still saving up for his ear drum surgery.

"I'm still trying to save up for the surgery and if I have time sana magawa ko na rin," he said. "Kasi it takes a while for it to heal. Mahaba 'yung recovery period niya."

"Hopefully soon, magawa ko na. Blessings for more income, more money para lang magawa ko na," he added.

In a March 2025 episode of PBB, Josh told house guest Gabbi Garcia that he has two holes in his ear drum and he is slowly losing his hearing in the left ear. The doctor initially said there's a chance it might heal by itself, but in a checkup before entering PBB, he was told he would need surgery.

To protect his ear, Josh wears an earpiece when showering or swimming.

Josh currently stars in “The Secrets of Hotel 88” alongside fellow PBB housemates.
