I have tubes in my ears and all my kids have tubes in their ears too. I had chronic ear infections ( and hearing malfunctions ) until i had them put in. The surgery wasn't painfull and there was no pain in any of the kids afterwards either. ( and an increase in hearing )
One thing you should pay special attention to is , your child likely cant hear things the same as you do. I can't even to begin to explain how strange a hearing problem is. Its not just the loss of hearing , it also creates noise distortions and a loss of balance because of the changes in fluid levels int he inner ear, these can lead to nausea and vertigo among other things..
I'm not saying baby your kids , but be aware when noise levels are at a certain level , they may not be ignoring you , the sounds meld together and your child will subconciously block the sound out because it sounds so similar to other sounds..
Imagine you heard everyone like the WHAH WHAH WHAH on charlie browns teacher unless you paid special attention to what someone was saying. I learned to read lips without actually realising i was reading lips.
