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.
A tympanoplasty is the repair of the eardrum ( tympanic membrane ) and/or middle ear bones. A tympanoplasty is most commonly performed for repair of the eardrum. The first is a myringoplasty which is used to repair a small hole in the eardrum.
