1 year outdated requirements Ear tubes?

Have your child ever got them?
Were there any complications?
Did they hurt?
Did your child continue to enjoy ear infections?
Any Advice or Personal experience, I am very scared for my baby to gain the ear tubes, but I don't want to damage her hearing!
My son got them at 14 months. It was the best item we ever did. He never had another ear infection and the surgery was very early. Prior to that he had had one ear infection after another and had be on antibiotics for months, I am sure you know all too well. You will be glad you did it and your daughter will be able to hear better. Good luck!
I have them twice as a kid (3 years and 7 years) and the little girl I babysit for recently got them (5 years). For me, the doctor's waited too long up to that time doing them and I have permanent hearing loss surrounded by one ear from repeat infections- definitely have the surgery done. It's actually pretty unintrusive and can be done in a specialist's office without common anesthesia- obviously general anesthesia is easier to use with small children. I never have complications, I think my ears were sore for a few days but nothing that be unbearable- regular children's tylenol fixed it. I did have ear infections after both times having the tubes but finally grew out of them after twelve years of having pretty much constant ear infections. You will hold to be careful not to get water within her ears during baths, that causes horrible pain if fluid goes through the tube contained by the eardrum. Despite having to be careful, I'd definitely hold the tubes put in, the small amount of discomfort for a few days is worth not having permanent audible range damage.
they didnt hurt my sister got them she loved them because she could actually hear it be funny
My 8yo had them. He be 18 months old when he got them. He had CONSTANT ear infections. We get the ear tubes put in and he has had ONE ear infection since. It be stressful at the time, but it was a very easy outpatient procedure and in that were no complications and he is perfectly healthy in a minute! I would recommend it. Good luck to you!

my son got his first ear infection at 3 months old and he didn't sleep till he be 2 1/2 he got his first set of ear tubes at 7 months old and his ears bled pretty bad for something like 4 days because he had some much infection that they had to drain, he continued to get ear infections and later he lost some of his hearing because the fluid got so built up in his ears for so long. he cried and cried for going on for a week because you have to put drops in his ears 3 times a day for a week after surgery and it burns because within bleeding, and then a month after the tubes he got an infection. he never wanted to suck on a bottle because it hurt his ears to impossible to suck so i had to feed him his formula through a syringe and then he get his second set of ear tubes last February at 3 years old and he cried a lot and they bled a touch and he hated the ear drops. i don't think the ear tubes worked he still got ear infections and still couldn't suck a bottle and getting it for him at 3 be a waste of time because he got an infection like 2 months latter. and he didn't have any complications and the surgery only last just about 15 minutes and they will wake up screaming very loudly because of the drugs.
i get tubes when i was 2 and everything went fine and since then i own not had many ear infections like perchance 3..i used to have one constantly
Answers:    My daughter got tubes a few month ago, and she be just under 1.
I was deeply upset, and hesitant to let them put such a little girl lower than general anesthesia, or to let them put tubes in her little ears. She kept getting ear infections though, and wasn't responding ably to antibiotics. The doctors told me there was a danger to her audible range long term if the infections persisted, and that tubes were the remedy.

I did own the tubes put in. She is fine. The hospital we used was very fundamentally good about it, and it was fast- she be away from us less than 30 minutes. When she woke up from her anesthesia, she was scared and cried for a while, but didn't appear to be in pain or anything.

Since then, we've have no ear infections and no problems. It can be hard to avoid getting water in her ears during tub time, but that's the only concern about them now.
