The tubes are placed to help drain the fluid out of the middle ear to prevent it from building up and reduce the risk of ear infections. This type of surgery is normally done in children ages 1 to 3 years old if fluid is present in 1 or both ears for 3 or more months and and are experiencing problems related to the presence of the fluid (such as trouble with balance, ear pain, repeated infections with fluid in one or both ears that is unlikely to go away quickly)]]> 2022-11-19 19:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kaylabrown12/eus9rzwzqr5hurjw/wish/2391087735 kaylabrown12 https://padlet.com/kaylabrown12/eus9rzwzqr5hurjw/wish/2391090628 What are the three bones located in the middle ear?
