Ear Infections & Ear Tubes 

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.

Who's left ear brought them here???

My son just got this surgery this morning. I hope this will help him hear better so he can talk. 🤧💙

Very useful info and video presentation, my child just suffered from this and I could now understand the reason.

I keep getting ear infections and im starting to think my eardrum is damaged. Theres liquid in my ear, skin fragments, and its very muffled and painful to sleep at night.

This was helpful and calming just what I needed to hear thx

Great video my wife has been freaking out about what this would entail for my daughter and I didn’t know anything about the procedure thank you for making it easy to understand and helping us to both relax

Who's watching this who's not a child?

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 had ear tubes and now i can’t even swim in like 5 foot of water, it sucks, i was hoping to go into the coastguard but now i don’t even think i can get in

Very clear presentation, background music is so nice❤️

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.

Not me being a grown adult still needing them😂😂😂😂

This is a very informational video with great visuals.

Very informative, thankyou for posting

Such a good video... thanks!!!

I woke up and couldnt hear from my left ear, i’m hoping its just a cold and nothing serious

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!

Very nice explanation and animation.

I had a Grommet put in my right ear over 4/5 years ago after having my nose blocked every time I had a cold, used to drive me crazy and I couldn’t hear anything out of my right ear for over a year but once I finally had the op done I couldn’t believe it, it was like heaven I could hear again and haven’t had a problem since!

It happened to me I had decrease in hearing tho and it was horrible it felt like I was deaf from side and front the other not. The decrease in hearing is sooo annoying‼️

Great video!

I had ear tubes and now my ears act weird.

This is exactly what is going on with me lol

I've had tubes in my ears twice so far i have terrible hearing after many and many of ear infections

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 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...

I have constant ear problems! I have tubes but I’ll probably have to get new ones because I’m going to my ent today

I had one ear tube that stayed in for years

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

why does ear drain happens even if the kid is not operated with the procedure like ear tubes. Thanks for clarifying.

Omg thank u I have a fever

HI, So once the tubes fall out, do the ear drums will close again to normal?

My whole ear is sensitive and painful. And its watery

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.

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.

Lets be honest this is not recomended we search for it bacause we have ear problem

Yeah, so ear tube pieces have been in my ears for 3 years? Yeah, my ears have been hurting lately, what could be causing it?

i had repetitive ear infections for the first 3 years of my life causing me to be almost completely deaf. Then i got ear tubes leaving me with a severe speech impediment

growing up with my younger bro, he had 17 ear surgeries before he was 12

Doctor say me :- loss of pneumatisation with sclerosis of left mastoid air cells. chronic mastoidits . Should I need to do big operation or not .did it can be cure by doing same process by keeping air tube ..

What to do if grommet is blocked?

I had it when i was 5!

I have a quick question can people see these tubes in your ear or is it so far back no one can see?

Stay safe

I've had er tubes 3 times. I had them taken out without surgery recently. I didnt learn how to swim because of this

I've had fluid in my right ear for over 20 years now. It feels packed. My doctors have been useless. I gave up hoping for a fix over ten years ago. I may return and ask for this operation. I'm 39 and the best years of my life have been plagued with illness because of disfunctioning eustacian tubes

I had them in both ears because I had ear infections every other week yeah that was fun

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.

I remember once I was in class in primary school (maybe year 3 or so) I had an ear tube fall out and I was so confused because I know it came out of my ear

I have all this

I grew up having ear pain all the time and I had to get tubes

I got T tubes in my ears and the one in my right ear fell out and now my ear hurts soo bad and sometimes it even feels like I have gone deaf

So if my ear is infected I can leave it and then it will regain my hearing by it's self?

My ear has this weird spot inside but it doesn’t hurt

When I was like 3 I got tubes put in but then they fell out 2 months later

So that why my ear was hurting I couldn't hear good but now it stop

At the age of three I had two ear surgeries, but at the age of 10 and 20 something I still had a few ear infections.

Man the weird thing is that i didn’t feel any pain but i couldn’t hear good with my right ear. Now atleast i know what happened.

Im crying i dont have these eartoobs plz hlep me lord my god and jesus the son of god crys😰😭

does that work for a 55 years old?

why can i open the E.tube without yawninf/swallowing, i can do it rapidly, do i have a disease or two?

I don't remember them ever putting it in when i was little, but I do remember them taking it out because OMG IT WAS PAINFULL. I got to keep it when they removed it for show and tell lol, then immediately lost it at school waiting on my ride for pick up. I also remember hearing EVERYTHING in hd when it was done. Nowadays, im plagued by tinnitus and vertigo 😅

Wow they didn't put me to sleep I remember having this done screaming in pain wide awake

Thanks but I could not here it right because I have that infection

I have had ear tubes 2 times. One in 2015, and the other in 2017.

So like I had a heart infection but like in my left ear I couldn't hear and when I pull my ear I can hear but when I let go I can't hear and I try to do the thing where u hold your nose and close your mouth and blow. But it didn't work so like I waited, it was a little annoying but I got the hang of it, the 1 week I could hear properly :)

Whenever I open my mouth it’s constant pain in my left ear, my ear also gives me pain

Yeah, I have those and I maybe have surgery soon and yeah, I have water in my ear too so I may be gonna get surgery

Is it ok to use antibiotics ear drops without a tube in the ear

Oh man my doctor didn't tell me about them coming out. I would've been freaking out lol

I had tubes when I was little and they left holes inside of my ears Bc it never healed and then first I had to have patches to try and close the holes but when that didn’t work after 3 times I had to get a double eardrum reconstruction and lost about 30% of my hearing

My 18 months old baby had same surgery

Does the Eustachian tube go back to normal after inflammation?

When i was 9 yrs old , my left ear becoming unhearable.now i am 23yrs old but still ,i am not able to hear to my left ear ... If anyone can tell ,what problem it is please share

This is problem in my ear so what I do it

I had tubes many years ago and after the tubes fell by their own I had hole in both ear which never healed and now frequent ear infection happens it’s worst , and no cure

I have a pretty bad ear infection rn

I had grommets (ear tubes) in when I was little because of ear infections. I also had my tonsils and adenoids out. Now that I am older I find that I have ear pressure problems/dysfunctional eustachian tubes, allergies, and sinus. Is this operation better than the balloon inflation operation, I will I have to keep going back for operations my whole life?

I had to tubes because i was partly deaf in both my ears I started getting them when I was 2 and I had 8 sets I think i had them until I was 10 or 11

I had these before though for some reason one of my ear tubes were stuck in my ear and it's been in there for years though it's been removed

🙏🙏🙏

I had 13 sets of tubes in each ear....I was premee....I'd get bad ear infections a lot! I'm having a bad ear infection now! At least my ear drum mimbraine wasn't punchedred

I had this operation 2 days ago. I feel tubes and little pain, is this normal?

DW got dis

my son just got ear tubes the right one is blocked they cant see it they have us ear drop and nasal spray to try to un block it. any feed back on this would be great

I already had to get tubes in both ears when i was younger and i didn't know all the was happening

I had tubes put in my ears when I was a baby and now I am 20 and I’m having constant ear infections and drainage. Do I still have tubes ?

I had to stay in the hospital a week after with iv antibiotics

ok the reason why I’m here is bc I was showering n water got in my ear um and now I can’t hear 😭 idk what to do itz 1am I took a shower at 6 and nothing’s happened still I tried everything 😢

Mine pains I used black cotton swab it make my ear inside itchy and pain when I move my mouth it makes a clicking sound what do do

i'va had tubes placed about 2 weeks ago and my hearing has been completely muffled since, was hoping it'd show signs of clearing up but will it just take a longer time? i want to know if this is normal

I had ear surgery a couple of months ago how can I know if the tube come out my ear can someone please tell me

Tubes never worked on me

Oml I remember going into the hospital then watching the balloon then going to sleep and waking up every thing was so much louder

This is literally why I has ear infection

I don’t know why I’m here this never happened to me But this is super interesting

I remember one day my ear so bad that I was crying then I heard something pop. I popped my eardrum

I got ear tubes and I was young
