- Eardrum repair is performed for three problems. These include: a hole in the eardrum, called a perforation calcium deposits a deformity known as a retraction pocket The most common reason is perforation caused by infection, injury, or previous placement of tubes.

ear tube insertion |
|
- Ear tube insertion is a surgical procedure used to drain fluid from the middle ear. In this procedure, a small cut is made in the eardrum. Next, special tubes, called Grommets, are placed in the ear to allow fluid to drain from the middle ear. These tubes also allow air to circulate through the area behind the middle ear. |
