Preparing for Ear Tube Surgery
    While the placement of PE (pressure equalization tubes) in a child's eardrum when reccuring ear infections cause continual fluid build-up is a somewhat controversial topic, doctors and parents know just how helpful it can be. What it mainly offers is improvement in hearing at a critical time in a young child's development. Fluid in the ear canal can cause significant hearing loss for many months. Since a child must be completely still for this short procedure it is done in a day surgical center because a general anesthesia is required.     Knowing what to expect reduces anxiety for parent and child alike. And after the surgery, re-reading this book also helps a child continue to process the event in a positive way.
