A ruptured (perforated) eardrum prevents the proper transmission of sound waves to the middle ear and leaves the middle ear vulnerable to infectious agents, water and other foreign substances.
A ruptured eardrum (tympanic membrane perforation) is a hole or tear in the thin tissue that separates the ear canal from the middle ear (eardrum).
A ruptured eardrum can result in hearing loss. It can also make the middle ear vulnerable to infections.
A ruptured eardrum usually heals within a few weeks without treatment. But sometimes it requires a patch or surgical repair to heal.
Signs and symptoms of a ruptured eardrum may include:
Call your health care provider if you have signs or symptoms of a ruptured eardrum. The middle and inner ears are made up of delicate structures that are sensitive to injury or disease. It is important to try to figure out the cause of ear symptoms and determine whether a ruptured eardrum has occurred.

The middle ear includes three small bones — the hammer (malleus), anvil (incus) and stirrup (stapes). The middle ear is separated from your external ear by the eardrum and connected to the back of your nose and throat by a narrow passageway called the eustachian tube. The cochlea, a snail-shaped structure, is part of your inner ear.
Causes of a ruptured (perforated) eardrum may include:
Barotrauma. Barotrauma is stress exerted on the eardrum when the air pressure in the middle ear and the air pressure in the environment are out of balance. If the pressure is severe, the eardrum can rupture. Barotrauma is most often caused by air pressure changes associated with air travel.
Other events that can cause sudden changes in pressure — and possibly a ruptured eardrum — include scuba diving and a direct blow to the ear, such as the impact of an automobile air bag.
The eardrum (tympanic membrane) has two primary roles:
If the eardrum ruptures, uncommon problems can occur, especially if it fails to self-heal after three to six months. Possible complications include:
Middle ear cyst (cholesteatoma). Although very rare, this cyst, which is composed of skin cells and other debris, can develop in the middle ear as a long-term result of eardrum rupture.
Ear canal debris normally travels to the outer ear with the help of ear-protecting earwax. If the eardrum is ruptured, the skin debris can pass into the middle ear and form a cyst.
A cyst in the middle ear provides a friendly environment for bacteria and contains proteins that can damage the bones of the middle ear.
Follow these tips to avoid a ruptured (perforated) eardrum:
Protect your ears during flight. If possible, don't fly if you have a cold or an active allergy that causes nasal or ear congestion. During takeoffs and landings, keep ears clear with pressure-equalizing earplugs, yawning or chewing gum.
Or use the Valsalva maneuver — gently pushing air into the nose, as if blowing your nose, while pinching the nostrils and keeping the mouth closed. Don't sleep during ascents and descents.

I have one of the glass things with hole somewhere in a drawer. I got it as part of my tool kit in school, and don't think I've used it since my first days of hairspring instruction. As far as I know it's to place the balance with spring on.

I also have a number of curved and angled super fine tweezers, which also sit in a drawer. 99.99% of the hairspring work I do is with #4 or #5 tweezers (never really understood the difference, I think #4 might be a little shorter?- but even from one pair of #5 to the other there are differences). All possible work is done with the balance in the watch; if not possible, then with spring on the balance on a bench block, and if that's not possible, then spring on a bench block with the collet sitting in a hole.

Working under the microscope it's definitely good to have the spring on a block at least 10mm high or so, so that you can lift it by the stud, slide the block away, then tilt the spring to see how the flatness is without having to mess with the focus.

I hope you have a very strong good clock mainspring winder because those springs are extremely powerful and could break your fingers or your wrist, wear a thick pair of gloves.

I figured I would share my results after fully assembling the watch. Once again thank you for the help!

@oldhippy thank you for your reply. yes it is definately going to get a full service, overall it is in very good condition but there is some work that needs doing ie. New screws and probably a few bushings. I took the mechanism out to look at because it wasn't chiming just to see what sort of problem i was dealing with luckily no major faults, it had just locked up and the hammers were very sticky.

Hi Do you have the caliber of the watch. first question, is the case tube the origional is the case hole worn. To get a replacement tube you are able to buy from cousins an assortment, that means many more than you will need so measure the case hole, Looks worn, and order single tube if possible. They are usually a friction fit. or the alternative is to refit the one you have using a suitable loctite cement and set it to the correct depth. Again you can buy gaskets but probably best to replace the stem and crown as a pair, crown will come with seal in place. You will no doubt receive more advice so pick it over and decide which option is best for you.... cheers

Hi all, this is a picture of an 1883 18s Waltham regulator. I have the pin, but just sliding it in is not an option since the lip of the hole has been broken off. If I slide it in it goes too deep - almost out the other side. What do you advise? Thanks.

@Nucejoe
yep thinking about it. Can't think of another solution except get a thicker pin or different regulator. But I would rather not wait 3 weeks for covid mail...

the lip of the hole has been broken off.

how do you know that there was a lip? as I've never taken one a part that I can remember? I was under the impression that they have tapered pins.

I was thinking about the stakes we use for hole closing. Now, jewel holes and hand holes are fairly large compared to the little pin hole in your Waltham's regulator, but the principle would be the same, if you have a hole-closing stake. BUT...(caveat)...you might find it easier and better to fabricate a new set of pins if they are so loose as what you say. And easier still would be to locate a regulator from a matching movement that had its pins solidly in place already, and save those other ideas for if the replacement cannot be found.

In almost all cases the pins are tapered, as John says, and the holes are usually straight as the pin conforms to its size as it's pushed in. The holes are just holes. If the pin worked loose, which can happen when manipulating them, the one real solution is to insert a new pin. I have millions so have never ordered but the supply houses do sell assortments. To install, place the regulator on a bench block with the pin holes over a hole, slide in pin, grip just above the hole with stout tweezers and press some more, trim (hairspring cutting tweezers are best) leaving maybe 0.10-0.15mm proud, then press again. Now you would usually repolish the regulator to get them flush, but you can trim any excess with a razor blade. Trim the length at the hairspring side and it's done.

I consider the overall condition and worth of the watch, if well, it might be well worth replacing the regu arm with a new one.

I also hate to see a staking set get damaged when trying to close a hole on $5 regu arm.

What I hate the most, is to help someone ruin a watch.

I don't think a little tap from punch on this will hurt the punch at all. I am about 100% certain that in closing the hole, even a tiny bit, a sharp lip will be formed in the hole, which will neatly shave the pin as it's pushed in and the pin will be as loose or looser than before.

Guys, thanks for all your comments. At the suggestion of a friend, I ended up ever so slightly flattening the wide end of the taper pin using a knife-edge punch (the same as you might use to tighten a cannon pinion). It now frictions nicely and isn't visible because the flattened part is fully in the hole. I've got the pins adjusted so the watch should run. If it's problematic then the hole is undamaged, so I can just source a new pin.

PS Sorry @JohnR725 I mean the edge of the hole. You can see it in that image on the right-hand-side of the hole. It was just widened enough by the corrosion to prevent a good friction fit.

And @Nucejoe don't worry, this was a $50 watch that hasn't run in probably 50 years. It has been previously butchered by an absolute idiot. I am only doing good things for it.
