The results of transtympanic drain insertion are generally very positive, with most patients experiencing significant improvements in ear health and hearing.
Immediate Results
After the procedure, many patients notice an immediate improvement in their hearing and a reduction in ear pain. Fluid drainage begins soon after the tube is inserted, helping to relieve pressure and prevent future fluid buildup.
Long-Term Results
Over time, the results of transtympanic drain insertion can be long-lasting, with most patients experiencing fewer ear infections and improved hearing. In some cases, the tube may need to be removed after a period of time, but the benefits often remain, and the ear health continues to improve.
