I perforated one age 15...acute pain with wind/sound since the 3 little bones are now exposed to the elements. One of the 'earmolds' hearing protection devices can block all external assaults on the inner ear...make you more comfortable for a few weeks.

SS,
Nothing I have done in my life falls under the category of Op-sec.

Not real certain as to exactly when it happened, the problem was brought to my attention when I went off of a dock into about 12-15 feet of water after my cell phone. Squeaking noises, intense pain, trickling water noises and loss of equillibrium. Good times.

I recently had a severe sinus infection and the current theory is that during the course of that infection, while trying to clear my head or blow my nose, I probably blew out my ear drum, and had not noticed until now. I was told that it should begin to heal in 7-10 days.
