Had perforation after diving.Left me with a constant high pitched whistle & slightly reduced efficiency of the left ear at high frequency.After 8 months was off work for 3 months with damaged tendon so decided to have a course of treatment at local spa. 15 sessions with nose washes, tube up nose to slightly pressurise the inner ear & clear any residual fluid etc. They found very slight septal deviation on the side of the perforated ear which was never commented on at initial medical 25 years ago.This cured the whistle & all is back to normal.
Good luck.
