Ear tube surgery or myringotomy involves placing tiny tubes (grommets) in the eardrums to drain fluid and prevent recurrent ear infections. It is one of the most common paediatric surgical procedures.

The procedure is very quick (about 10-15 minutes) and is usually done as a day-care surgery. It is commonly combined with adenoidectomy when adenoids contribute to ear infections.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do ear tubes stay in?

Most ear tubes fall out on their own after 6-18 months as the eardrum heals. Long-term tubes (T-tubes) may stay for 2-3 years and need to be removed by the doctor.

Can my child swim with ear tubes?

Surface swimming is usually fine. Diving and submerging ears should be avoided. Your ENT surgeon may recommend ear plugs for bathing and swimming.

Is ear tube surgery effective?

Yes, ear tubes are highly effective in reducing ear infections and hearing problems. About 80-90% of children experience significant improvement.
