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.
If the toddler does not pass the hearing test an in-depth evaluation by an audiologist is recommended. Tympanometry is a test that may help determine how the child's inner ear is functioning. Air pressure is transmitted into the ear making the ear drum move. The mobility of the eardrum is then measured by a special machine.
