Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1981
The clear advantage accruing from the use of tympanostomy tubes in the treatment of otitis media with effusion is immediate improvement in hearing; there are also disadvantages entailed, such as scarring of the drum, risk of continuing otorrhea and interference with the patient's normal physical activities.

Tympanostomy Tube Protection With Ear Plugs

Archives of Otolaryngology, 1977
Protection by ear plugs from water-borne infection was evaluated in 35 patients with "tympanostomy" tubes, tympanic membrane perforations, or mastoid bowls. Stock and custom-made ear plugs were found to be equally effective up to four months during a period of frequent swimming and bathing activities.

Otitis media represents failure of eustachian tube function. Patent tubes effectively address eustachian tube dysfunction. Most common indications are recurrent acute otitis media and chronic otitis media with effusion. Common complications are otorrhea, tympanic membrane perforation, and foreign body reaction.

Eustachian Tube Function in Children with Tympanostomy Tubes

Auris Nasus Larynx, 1985

Tubal function was assessed using the inflation-deflation and forced-response tests. The study children were between the ages of 2 and 11 years.

Bacteriology of Otorrhea From Tympanostomy Tubes

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1989
Culture results from 100 consecutive cases of otorrhea from tympanostomy tubes are presented. In children younger than 3 years, the culture results are very similar to those seen in patients with acute otitis media who do not have tubes. In children older than 3 years, the flora resembles that of external otitis. Suggestions for treatment are made.
