Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO
The human ear is made up of two chambers. The inner ear and the middle ear. The middle ear is sealed off from the outside environment by the tympanic membrane - or eardrum. In a healthy ear, this membrane acts to protect the delicate interior of the ear from contamination.
Medical Malpractice
Occasionally, however, allergy, infection, or other irritation can cause a buildup of pus, blood and other fluids within the middle ear. In these cases, the seal created by the eardrum acts to prevent proper drainage and can actually pose a health risk.

Symptoms can include pain - caused by the buildup of pressure - and even hearing loss. If left untreated the buildup of fluid can damage the delicate structures located behind the eardrum - leading to temporary or even permanent hearing loss.
Medical Malpractice
A myringotomy is a simple procedure in which a small tube is inserted into the eardrum in order to allow fluids to drain out of the middle, reducing pressure and allowing any infection to be treated with antibiotics.

  • why im watching this ?

  • how did i end up in the weird part of youtube

  • @HuntmansGameReviews

    LMAAO! So did I :L

  • This is exactly what's happening to me right now because the ear nose and throat doctors around here are NOT even giving me ear tube surgery WHEN THEY SHOULD. The fluid is forming behind my eardrums and remaining trapped there. Posing a health risk as well as making me lose more and more of my hearing. Like you said.

  • @sugerkat ...ouch

  • @DragonSonOwner they came out on their own the 2nd and 3rd time...the 1st time i had it done, i was 11 and it was 1982. they manually removed them and it hurt like hell.

  • @sugerkat the tube should usually go off by itself and just drop from your ear to who knows where :p
