Ear Tubes

Ear Tubes

Ear tubes, also called tympanostomy tubes, ventilation tubes, or grommets, are small cylinders inserted into the eardrum to allow air into the middle ear and prevent the accumulation of fluid. They are most commonly used in children with chronic otitis media with effusion (OME) or recurrent acute otitis media (AOM) but can also be recommended for adults with persistent middle ear problems.
