Apparatus for being held by the human hand for treating the tympanic membrane in an ear by the use of electromagnetic energy. An elongate probe has proximal and distal extremities. The proximal extremity is sized to be grasped by a human hand and the elongate probe has a length so that the distal extremity can be held in close proximity to the tympanic membrane while the proximal extremity is being held by the human hand. An energy delivery member is carried by the distal extremity. Conductors carried by the elongate probe conduct electromagnetic energy to the energy delivery member. A dispersive member is carried by the energy delivery member for dispersing the electromagnetic energy from the energy delivery member and applies energy to the tympanic membrane to heat the tympanic membrane in order to cause shrinkage of the tympanic membrane.
