After Ear Tubes: can you swim, when can you fly, how do you use ear drops
Summary:
Typically no water precautions necessary. If and only if you get pain or drainage from the ears with water exposure (rare) do you need ear plugs.
Altitude changes, flights, drives should not cause any discomfort even immediately after the procedure.
Most tubes come out on their own in 1.5 years or so but may need to be taken out if they are still in place 3 years after they are placed.
Most ears with tubes need to be evaluated every 4-6 months until they come out.
