Grommets are tiny ventilation tubes placed in the eardrum to drain fluid and relieve pressure, most commonly used for glue ear and recurrent ear infections. Dr. Sudarshen Aahire performs safe, quick grommet procedures in Nashik.

Common Symptoms

• Reduced hearing, especially in children
• Recurrent ear infections
• A feeling of blockage or fullness in the ear
• Balance issues or delayed speech in children

Causes

• Persistent fluid behind the eardrum (glue ear)
• Repeated middle-ear infections
• Eustachian tube dysfunction

Diagnosis

Ear examination, hearing tests and tympanometry assess middle-ear fluid and pressure to decide if grommets are needed.

Treatment Options

• Day-care grommet insertion under short anaesthesia
• Drainage of trapped fluid to restore hearing
• Simple aftercare and water precautions
• Routine review as grommets naturally extrude over time

When to See an ENT Specialist

If your child has repeated ear infections, reduced hearing, or fluid that will not clear, an ENT assessment can determine whether grommets will help.
