Grommet Insertion (adult)

Glue ear is a common condition that usually gets better without any surgery. Surgery is recommended when the condition lasts longer than 3 months and the hearing loss is causing problems.

Glue ear is a common condition where fluid collects in your middle ear behind your eardrum. It can cause deafness and repeated earache or infections, sometimes resulting in a discharge from your ear.

Your surgeon has recommended placing a grommet (small plastic or metal tube) to treat your glue ear.
