Adult grommet insertion procedure costs and locations

What is adult grommet insertion?

An adult grommet insertion – also sometimes referred to as ear tube surgery or tympanostomy – is a minor ear, nose, and throat procedure where a tiny ventilation tube is placed into the eardrum.

Why is it performed?

Adult grommet insertion is used to treat persistent middle ear fluid, recurring infections, and Eustachian tube dysfunction by equalising pressure and allowing the ear to properly drain.

What the procedure involves

Adult grommet insertion is a minor procedure that places a small tube in the eardrum to help improve ventilation and drainage within the ear. Your specialist will explain what to expect before your procedure and provide guidance on your aftercare and recovery.
