Real Stories: Ear Tubes

1. How did ear tube surgery affect you?
It stopped most of my ear infections. Before I had ear tubes I had a lot of ear infections at least once a week.

2. How did you feel after the surgery?
My ear was sore but after a while it felt better. But every time I went to the pool or took a shower I had to where ear plugs and a headband.

3. Did you feel any thing during the surgery?
No because I was asleep, and I was little.

4. Were you frightened of the surgery at first? After it was over was it so bad?
A little because they had to put a mask on me to make me fall asleep.

5. Does your ear fell better than it did before?
Much better because I did not have to go to the doctors every week. Later they had to remove my ear tubes because they would not fall out on their own.
