T.T.
hello and welcome to the area! i recently just moved here a mth ago from greensboro, nc and am originally fr ny. my daughter is 5 yrs old and has 2 sets of tubes put in her ears. her first set was put in when she was rather small, i believe about 1 or 2. her last set was just put in march of last year. there was a great decrease in the ear infections was was a relief. she was having them almost every single month and they were very extreme. her ear drum were infected and wld actually rupture and drain each time. as you could imagine, i had to spen a lot of time away from work due to this so it was s rough time. the first set fell out on their own and she began to slowly have the infections again. since they have been in this last time there has only been a time or two i can remember, so thats very good. i had a hard time understanding why they wld need to replaced, and it took a long time for me to decide to do the surgery again because they say the risks are higher the second time around being that she was older. some doctors also say that the adnoids should be removed as well. hopefully you find this info helpful, good luck! oh, and about me, im a 23 yr old mother of 1. im new to the area and would like to meet many new friends.
