Treatments Offered

We offer precise and comfortable grommet insertion procedures, including:

• Myringotomy with Grommet Placement: A tiny incision is made in the eardrum to drain fluid, followed by insertion of a tube to maintain air flow.

• Management of Glue Ear (Otitis Media with Effusion): Ideal for children with persistent fluid causing hearing loss or speech delay.

• Treatment for Recurrent Ear Infections: Helps reduce repeated infections by ensuring proper middle-ear ventilation.

• Specialized Pediatric Care: Child-friendly procedure performed under safe conditions to ensure comfort and quick recovery.

• Adult Grommet Procedures: Beneficial for pressure-related ear problems such as barotrauma or chronic middle-ear fluid.

Symptoms & Causes

A grommet may be needed if you or your child experiences:

• Difficulty hearing or muffled hearing due to fluid in the middle ear

• Frequent ear infections or repeated antibiotic use

• Speech delay or learning difficulty in children linked to hearing issues

• Persistent fluid or negative pressure in the ear despite medication

Causes include Eustachian tube dysfunction, frequent colds, allergies, enlarged adenoids, chronic ear infections, or fluid accumulation due to poor middle-ear ventilation.

Post-procedure Care

After grommet insertion, we recommend:

• Avoiding water entry into ears while bathing or swimming

• Regular follow-up visits to monitor grommet function and ear health

• Recognizing that the grommet usually falls out naturally within 6–12 months

• Seeking prompt care if discharge or pain occurs
