So far, doctors considered that children with excess fluid in the ear had hearing problems that affected their linguistic and speech capacity. Therefore, as soon as the problem was detected, the cut was made and a plastic tube was placed in the ear. However, according to a study by a group of researchers at the Pittsburgh School of Medicine, this hearing disease does not generate any development problems.
Therefore, we should not think that the plastic tube contributes to overcoming these problems. In addition, it should be noted that the damage this tube can cause in the ear for several years has not yet been studied. Excess fluid in the ear is as common as infection. However, it often does not present any other symptoms and is not detected until normal medical recognition is performed.
