3. Three of my kids got tubes due to frequent ear infections. One of

them had it done twice, once at 2 years and again at 7 years. I couldn't believe the difference it made. No ear infections for years, whereas we had been battling them several times each winter.

5. Hey cb...

Hope everything goes well for your baby. :hug: Since you've worked in an ENT clinic, you know more about this than I do, but I can tell you that my little brother got ear tubes when he was about 8 and suffered no complications. (He's 16 now, and the only issues he has are with selective hearing...lol.) :hi:

7. Best thing ever

It took 5 minutes literally and our boy is so much better off.
I actually went deaf for a period of months when I was a kid because they did not have any idea what was wrong. My parents found me with the TV volume all the way up and my hands on the screen. I remember being spun around by teachers and them making angry faces at me. I learned to lip read but boy if I wasn't looking at them it scared me.
I really appreciate being able to hear anything especially music. After the surgery the first thing I heard was a bird outside my window and the telephone which sounded like a fire alarm inside my ear.

8. good luck for baby bunnypants

and for you, it's stressful to make these decisions. Hopefully it will be a resounding success and the infections will clear up and baby will soon outgrow the need for tubes.
