Tubes in ears

[Guest guest]

The tubes being spoken about are tubes which go into the ear drum and act as

a vent for accumulated moisture/liquid/secretion behind the ear drum. They

are not hearing devices . However, some children who could not hear because

of fluid accumulation behind the ear drum DO hear again after the tubes are

inserted. The tubes themselves look like spaghetti with a grommet on the

end. Sometimes they fall out and sometimes they just grow out.
