Removal of a Tympanic Drain

When is the Removal of a Tympanic Drain Recommended?

This procedure is generally recommended for individuals  who experience:

• Resolved Middle Ear Issues: When the ear has healed and normal drainage has resumed, making the tube unnecessary.
• Tube Blockage: If the tympanic drain becomes blocked or stops functioning properly.
• Discomfort or Complications: If the tube causes discomfort, recurring infections, or other issues.
• Scheduled Removal: When the tube has been in place for the recommended duration and needs to be removed to avoid potential complications.

• Medication Review: You’ll need to inform us of any medications you’re taking, as some may need to be adjusted before the procedure.
• Fasting Guidelines: Typically, fasting is not required for this procedure, but your doctor will confirm if any specific instructions are needed.
