Is it bad to play piano with a perforated ear drum?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: The sound arising from a piano can not have any effect on a perforated ear drum. The perforated ear, however, might have an effect on your hearing when playing the piano. The perforation can be repaired. You can not harm your ear with the playing of the piano.
