<<thanks again I am wondering though, if he does need tubes in the

one ear with fluid, will he be fine afterwards and not considered to

have hearing loss?>>

My son Liam is getting tubes on Wednesday (12/22) for Fluid. They feel his

hearing loss in compounded by the fluid and constent ear infections.. Our

ENT said that he will hear better, but will still have some degree of

hearing loss, and still will probably need aids.. But it is better to get

rid of the fluid before getting the aids....He goes for a floow up check and

hearing test on Jan. 3rd....

Same here...once the fluid was gone, she did hear better, but still had mil/mod

loss. We got the tubes first, so that when aids were adjusted to her level of

loss, it was accurate (not adjusted to the greater level of loss when the fluid

was present).

BTW, just because fluid is present, does not automatically mean tubes. Ricky

could just have an ear inf. and have fluid from it, and once treated, the fluid

goes away. Lidy never got rid of the fluid, but rarely had an ear infection.

The ENT said her middle ear structure was not ideal, which explained the ongoing

fluid. He also said she may need tubes again, when these fall out, since she

could still carry the fluid due to the structural problem.
