Ear Infections & Ear Tubes
To learn more, visit: www.childrenscolorado.org/con...
Otitis media, or middle-ear infections, are very common in children. Sometimes, middle-ear infections can cause a lot of pressure to build. In these cases, ear tubes may be recommended. Learn more about ear tube insertion from this educational video, including what to expect and recovery.

Man this brought back memories from when I was a child. I was constantly having ear infection and couldn't sleep at night. I remember having this surgery and every sound afterwards in the world was so much louder. After a while that thing fell out during school time.

My son is 18 months and isn't saying many words. He babbles a long but we are concerned he may have hearing issues so his pediatrician referred him to an ENT and Speech Pathologist. This cleared up so many questions I had in case he does have issues with hearing. He has had several ear infections and currently, the inside of his ears are red. See a specialist in a week. Wish we could get in earlier but glad to be getting some answers.

Very useful info and video presentation, my child just suffered from this and I could now understand the reason.
I had one of these put in as a kid. I think my siblings did as well. I mostly reamber getting annoyed, that I had to put silly putty in my ear every time I took a bath. The silly putty was to prevent water getting in my ear and causing another infection.
Omg, so educational video my son is going to have his tube put in, in a week and i was so so nervous before watching this video. Thanks a lot for making such informative videos...

I’m having them getting removed and getting cavities filled, a tooth pulled, and all of my teeth cleaned, While I am asleep! I am VERY excited!
I know these naturally fall out adter 12 to 18 months or something... but what's to stop them falling out on the wrong side of the ear drum? They look symmetrical...
Very informative, thankyou for posting
Man oh man I need this unfortunately I'm not a child I'm 20 so is there a clinic for adults with either the same or similar procedures
HI, So once the tubes fall out, do the ear drums will close again to normal?
I got tubes as a kid and yes they did stop me from getting ear infections but when I got my right tube taken out the Doctor Who did it didn't do it right and infected my right ear really bad so I have scars on the inside of my right ear and have issues with hearing out of my ear sometimes. And I can't even go underwater without having to put something over my ears so they don't hurt.

What if the tube never falls out like mine? I went to two different doctors and both said it was better to keep it in than risk messing the eardrum taking it out.
In 2019 I got an ear infection and I had to go to a doctor and since then I clean out my ears every month
I have a quick question can people see these tubes in your ear or is it so far back no one can see?

I had three different types of tubes placed in my ears between the ages of 4 years to about 11 years old. I get middle ear infections frequently. When ever I get congested or get a cold, I’m miserable until it clears up. I absolutely hate it... I’m 25 now and I feel like the tubes I had as a child are to blame.
