My daughter had tubes placed when she was 11 months old due to flat

tympanograms, indicating fluid in her ears. She was so small that

for about 9 months we could not even see in her ears and had to wait

for her to grow large enough for the surgery. Claire also has a

hearing loss, so for us tubes were extremely important. I don't

know if has bad reflux. For Claire this contributed to fluid

in her ears. When she refluxes it comes up into her nasal passages

and into her ears, because she has severe silent reflux the fluid

does not get a chance to drain and a pool of fluid in the middle ear

is a breeding ground for bacteria. Claire's audiologist has seen a

number of children like Claire where reflux results in fluid which

results in tubes.
