My eardrum perforated 3 weeks ago due to inner ear infection. Absolutely excruciating when it went pop/screech!
Have just been to the docs this morning who tells me it's healed but that there is still a fair amount of grunge behind the drum. He suggested breathing steam to try to clear this. Stupidly I forgot to ask him about flying in the meantime.
I'm inclined to avoid the skies until it's fully cleared.
