My son had tubes put in twice (the first ones fell out) and they have made a big difference in his hearing and "ear-related" issues. He suffers from some severe allergies and has gone through the allergy shots/testing/medication routine. Dan is 15 and he's had tubes in his ears since he was 5. He has no problems swimming because he wears ear plugs. His ears seem to be better in the warm weather and the long MI winters play havoc with all of us...
