I would suggest if you already have a perforation your ear drum won’t suffer from issues of pressurisation, as it is no longer a “sealed vessel” as it were. Of course knowing the exact size of the perforation would be helpful, and if the Eustachian tube is functioning normally this is a non issue anyway but, I would not be excessively worried by this
