Has anyone had tubes put in a teenagers ears? How did it go?

He has had lots of problems with fluid pressure. He is now 15 and has alot of allergies but as a small kid he never had many ear infections at all.Has anyone had tubes put in a teenagers ears? How did it go?
My son had tube in his ears. It was the best thing ever. He had constant ear infections and was on antibiotic therapy--which was stupid because after awhile, no antibiotics would work. He had constant ear infections for years that wouldn't respond to anything. Finally, an ears, nose, throat doctor scheduled him for a tubal ligation. It took only 5 minutes, they put him to sleep, and he has never had an ear infection or allergies since. This was about 5 years ago. The tubes are so tiny they cannot be seen. After awhile, they fall out and you never even know it. There was no pain from the surgery, Tylenol if needed. I hope your son has the same luck. Good luck to him!Has anyone had tubes put in a teenagers ears? How did it go?
this is a very common thing that usually gets done when the cild is still a todler in order to prevent any possible hearing disabillities and further ear infections. if he never had ear infections before than there was really no way of you knowing about it.





its a very simple procedure and my neice just had it done (1 year) she now has an aproximate 30% hearing increase and has started talking now that she can understand what we are saying easier.





if he needs them than definitely do it, its worth it and its a simple procedure. good luck, he'll hear better
