Hello,
Grommets. Grommets are tubes inserted into the eardrum after repeated ear infections which cause 'glue ear'. Glue ear is caused by a build-up of fluid in the inner ear that tends to get thick and sticky if it persists for long enough. This often happens with frequent ear infections.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
