Logan has had 2 sets of ear tubes since he was 3. He will be 8 this summer and tomorrow will be his 3rd set! He's just "one of THOSE kids", we've been told in not so many words. He doesn't have ear infections but when he does get fluid in his ears his body does not re-absorb the fluid and it builds-up and builds-up in his ears until it turns thicker than glue. Then it starts to bulge his ear drum out and cause hearing loss. We've been "yelling" at him (not because he's always bad - but because he CAN NOT hear). He can't hear anything under 35 decibles, which is bad. The poor kid can't hear the TV, radio or toys that are sometimes making noise. I've noticed his speech and reading are being affected too. So, back to the ENT and our 3rd set of tubes. Hopefully this will be it and he'll finally out grow it or his body will do what it's supposed to.
WISH US LUCK!! :-)

I had to have tubes 3 or 4 times as a child. The last time I was about Logan's age.
Good luck! Hope everything goes nice and smooth!!
POOR BOY! I typed it loudly so he could hear it.
GOOD LUCK.
