Yea. Thats definitely an old injury. The oil might let it close. The fact you've got balance gives hope. The main objective of the mixture is to take the pain away. If the perforation will heal also, so much better. I read an interesting study recently regarding raw honey and that it will reproduce cells when used for wound care. If it helps In That way with you then you just might heal the drum. I added it to the mixture to reduce bacteria.

How old is 'old injury'? If it has healed with the perforation still there then you may not be able to do much to heal the perforation itself. But you should be able to stop the sharp pain. The pain is more than likely being caused by the contrast of outside cool air and warmth of the inner ear.
There are drops otc for ear infections which are essentially neomyacin and oil. Since its not an infection your dealing with get a small bottle of high grade olive oil and a small bottle of oil of clove. Take an old 1 oz dropper bottle and clean it very well . Fill it to j ust below the neck with the olive oil and add one 1/2 teaspoon of clove oil and a 1/2 teaspoon of raw honey. This mixture will help the perforation to close if it is inclined to. The clove will help numb the pain and the raw honey will kill any bacteria. Hold the bottle in your hand for awhile to let it come to body temp and put just a couple drops (or enough that it deadens the sound that will mean you have a layer of mixture over the drum) close off the ear with some cotton. Due this morning and evening changing the cotton each time. Be very stingy with the clove oil. In this incident it would be better to have too little than to much. Clove oil will burn the skin if not properly diluted. So I will repeat this. Go light on the clove oil. Just to give you an idea how strong it is put a single drop on your inside wrist. Make sure you wash your hands well as you wont want to get it on any other area. please post your results so aanyone else having a similar problem may benefit from your feedback.
