Um, maybe I'm wrong, but aren't grommets supposed to fall out??!

DSD had them done when she was six, at ten now the surgeon has said if the second one doesn't fall out by next year she will have to have surgery to get it taken out... Your ear isn't supposed to have a permanent hole in it, it just helps the fiuid drain when they are prone to ear infections....


Maybe the problem us when they fall out too quickly???!

We did get told that she may need a second set if the hearing issues continued after the grommets came out.

In the meantime - you could also make sure she wear searplugs and a cap when swimming, particularly in public pools, and if there are any smokersaeoynd, make sure it's not in the house and preferably not around her at all.
