Here is what to expect if you or your child has recently had ear tubes placed. Dr. Evans discusses typical things that happen after the surgery so you know what to expect.
I got this when I was young, and was told they would come out on their own. But after 10ish years they never did, and water always gets in my head. Eventually I got them removed.. But now I'm a professional scuba diver, and my head is always full of water and ears throbbing (maybe hearing my heart beat). I'm wondering if there is still a hole from the tubes that is letting water in.
ive been surfing and got hit by another surfer on my right ear, when i was 15. since that day i had yellow stinky fluid coming out of my ear then me and my parents rushed to the hospital and the stick bandage that caused HELL of a PAIN, the same day after a hour i took it off due to sharp pain, since then i have right ear clogged and everytime i need to hear better i need to close my nose and blow air to make pressure inside the ear to hear better, and every time i swallow or yawn it gets clogged again, ive been doing that for over 3 years and i got tired and want a surgery but my doctor says Allergic Treatment and Nasal Decongestion needed first. i dont want this waste of time i want surgery!!! please if anyone have simmiliar problem now or in the past i would more than happy to hear suggestions.
Hello,I have same problems that what you had.am getting depressed because of it. i want you to give details of your condition now.what did you do to get rid of it.if you tell me i will be very happy than ever thank you
I had a decent case of a middle ear infection with pus and everything in high school and it caused partial hearing loss and dull pain as well .. and you know what eventually happened? A natural myringotomy, haha. My eardrum burst while running in PE and my infection cleared up after going to the doctor for one more round of antibiotics. I have no idea why the doctor didnt just cut and suck out the stuff before I had 3 weeks of partial hearing loss and constant pain.. that loud ass POP noise and the pus coming out of my ear was so nice
@@Motivational-2612 i had this for a few weeks and my eardrum got so pressurized it popped a small hole in itself. i would recommend finding a doctor to do a t tube surgery if its a consistent problem for you. once the pus comes out you are completely relieved and the infection goes away way easier because the eardrops can work now on the middle ear itself.
Dr. - I am 33 Years old, been seeing an ENT for a year for Eustachian Tube Disfunction, After no success of minor treatments he decided i should get Ear Tubes placed in, they fall out 6-12 months. I have had the tubes in for 1.5 months now and Ever since i got the tubes installed my hearing has been Worse then ever. Should I be getting them removed or Wait for them to fall out ? It is really driving me crazy how muffled my hearing is currenty and wish I could go back to how my hearing was before the ear tubes were installed ?? Please Help (My ENT recommended to leave them in despite how badly im suffering)???
Hello did you ever get tubes out? and did you ever get better? and if so how long did it take. I had ear tubes put in a month ago, but my ear is still clogged and I can't pick up low/bass frequencies.
I’m a worship leader. I was born with a bi lateral cleft pallet and problems with my ears. Had tubes but they are going to work on one ear to fix a hole in my ear drum. My question is how recovery happens because I use in ear monitors. Headphones. When may I use them again?
hi! ive gotten this surgery before when i was little a ton of times :) i have to get another soon to.. will i be put to sleep during the surgery...? i am 13 years old and scared! :(
PLEASE READ IF AFRAID VERY DETAILED Hope this helps I am a 22-year-old female who just got tubes placed in both my ears yesterday. I was put under anesthesia and surgery was performed I took medication before I left the hospital and when I got home I was sleep until around 8pm once I woke up and the meds wore off the pain was MASSIVE PAIN I had a very bad headache and my ears also my lymph nodes (from bottom of my ear to the middle of my throat) were also in a lot of pain I kept getting hot out of the blue and felt like my head was being smashed between two trains and I’m not even exaggerating a little. Today is day two and I’m feeling a little bit better still very nauseous and can’t eat much but it’s not as bad as yesterday I started taking Tylenol rapid release I took five 500 mg and started doing my ear drops. It’s 4 drops in each ear twice a day. I’m feeling very big difference as far as the pressure in my ears and the terrible migraines. Also another thing every time I burp or hiccup it feels like I am about to bust my ear drums 😭😂. From time to time my ears pop open and its like I can hear a needle drop but it’s stops back up. before I couldn’t hear anything at so it’s already going very good in the right direction I know soon my hearing will completely return. I hope this really helps someone!!!!!! They surgery it’s self is not bad I don’t even remember being rolled back 😂 I just remember waking up and crying telling the pregnant nurse how good of a mother she is going to be then passing out once again before being released.
Lol the last sentence 🤣😂 thank you. I'm having this dec 16th and I wanted to know what to expect. Mine is more invasive he said because my ear drum is sucked all the way in. So I hope it doesn't hurt to bad. Thanks for the heads up I really appreciate it! God bless you ❤🙏
why did you have surgery with anesthesia? Im 50 and have had ear tubes put in several times right in my Drs Office? I have had the temp ones put in about 6 times from 3 diff Drs right in the office? It took 5 min an ear. numbed up my ear drum and walked out in an hour and drove home. I just had longer T Tubes put in on the 2nd of this month to last longer....right in the office. These are worse than the temp ones and my ear sound is muffled and it has hurt since. They said it should get better as time goes on.
@@Motivational-2612 yes!!! I couldn’t hear out of my left ear at all. Then like a week after I had tubes put in it would pop in and out then one day it just popped and stayed open every since.
hello Doctor, i hope your doing great. I just want to ask. My baby he is 15 months old, and he had this tube surgery in his both ears because he had constant ear infection. After one month of surgery, the doctor told me that in his left ear the tube was lost. is it normal? and the the right ear, one morning it has blood comes out but not a lot maybe like 2 drops, Im so worried about it. And its not so easy to take or go to the doctor to check him thats why i write here to know about it. Thank you in advance and have a nice day.
I put a gromet on my left ear yesterday. I can't hear pretty good. My hearing on left side is muffled , feels like I'm underwater. Should I be worried?
Just had mine done yesterday to my left ear. I’m 40. The day after it was done I find it more muzzled and hard of hearing. After they poked a hole before putting the tub in I experienced hearing super clear. I’m taking Tylenol as I have slight pain. I’m really curious if this will help. My dr will do a follow up call in a week. I had this done because I couldn’t hear properly and couldn’t pop both my ears. I hear differently with both ears. Just my side
@@markanthonygallardo3971 I had it taken out after 10 days because I was getting sudden sharp pain. It also didn’t resolve the fullness in both my ears nor the pressure I’ve been experiencing so her and I are back to the drawing board.
my husband just had it done here in PA, but he came home with cotton & the ear drops, I have instructions on how often to give, but I don't remember when they said to start. if it's still draining do you use the ear drops the same day of surgery?
@@ivicacuncic5885 no. not for me. It helps about 60 percent better but I have to pinch my nose and blow to clear fluid out several times a day. the tubes get clogged easy. I still need them. Im getting balloon dilation done on them and my Dr does it in the office. No anesthesia.
@@nancydee6106 I feel better but the surgery hasn’t made much of a difference at all. My ent doctor said once the tube falls out I can get it replaced but I highly doubt I’ll do it since there doesn’t seem to be much improvement. But it may work for you since everyone is different.
Im having ear tubes put in next week im 55 does it hurt i just keep having bad thoughts.
I have to have surgery next month for tube they going to find the early bone in my ear too

I got tubes in for about 4 months now and my ear still hurts

What about the ear that refused to heal for several years after the tube falls out what should be done
My ears sounding like a broken blown speaker a month after
Doctor said tube fall it self after 3,4 month is it right. Does it hurt i have a surgery after 2days😢

Had my ears done today
How did you feel as soon surgery over, how are you now
@@karupan3129 honestly uncomfortable. Especially when you drain fluid or have to itch your ear.
@medicalpiff803 omg, I'm gonna have next week, my ENT said i will be put in general anesthesia, so that I'll not feel any pain.
