High parental satisfaction with tympanostomy tube insertion in children with chronic otitis
Some children experience recurrent or chronic otitis media with prolonged effusion that can cause hearing problems, disrupted sleep and delayed speech development.

Based on almost 2500 cases, the authors report a high rate of symptom relief and parental satisfaction 1-12 months following tube insertion.
