A tympanostomy tube (also known as a grommet, T-tube, ear tube, pressure equalization tube, vent, PE tube or myringotomy tube) is a small tube inserted into the eardrum in order to keep the middle ear aerated for a prolonged period of time, and to prevent the accumulation of fluid in the middle ear.hen it is necessary to keep the middle ear ventilated for a very long period, a T-shaped tube may be used, as these T-tubes can stay in place for 2-4 years. Materials used to construct the tube are most often plastics such as silicone or Teflon. Stainless steel tubes exist, but are no longer in frequent use.
Grommets, also called tympanostomy or ventilation tubes, are tiny plastic tubes which are inserted into a small slit in your child's ear drum in a short operation.You can see how tiny a grommet is when it's placed on an adult finger, or next to a millimetre ruler.ome children will have discharge from their ears after grommets have been inserted. This is not usually painful and is usually treated with ear drops. See your family doctor if this happens. If your child's ear discharge continues, your family doctor may send your child to an ear nurse specialist or ENT specialist.
