Grommet Insertion (Myringotomy)
A quick, minor day-care procedure where a microscopic tube (grommet) is gently placed into the eardrum. This allows trapped, sticky fluid to drain from the middle ear, instantly restoring muffled hearing and stopping frequent earaches.

Who Needs Grommets?
This highly successful procedure is primarily performed on children (and sometimes adults) suffering from:
Glue Ear
Thick, sticky fluid trapped behind the eardrum causing significant muffled hearing.
Recurrent Ear Infections
Children who suffer from constant middle ear infections (Otitis Media).
Speech & Learning Delays
Hearing loss from fluid that is beginning to affect a child's speech development or school performance.
Severe Ear Pressure
Intense pain or a feeling of fullness in the ear that won't resolve with medication.
Why Grommets Are Transformative
What to Expect
Instant Relief
The procedure takes just minutes. The patient goes home the same day and notices an immediate improvement in hearing.
Water Precautions
Earplugs or swimming caps should be used during baths or swimming to prevent dirty water from entering the tube.
Natural Resolution
As the ear heals and grows, the tiny grommet naturally falls out on its own, leaving a perfectly healed eardrum behind.
A World of Clear Sound
Better Learning
Your child can clearly hear their teachers, aiding in faster learning and reading.
Clear Speech
Pronunciation improves rapidly once a child can properly hear their own voice.
Pain-Free Nights
End the heartbreaking midnight earaches and fevers.
Happy & Attentive
Watch your child transform from frustrated and withdrawn to bright and engaged.
