A member asked:
Can one fly with a perforated eardrum?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: As a matter of fact, it will be easier to fly with that ear because one would not have to equalize pressure in it. The caveat is that you are the passenger. You should likely not pilot for fear of equilibrium issues.
