About grommet insertion at Even Hospital

Glue ear — fluid trapped behind the eardrum — is a common cause of hearing difficulty and speech delay in children. When it persists despite medical treatment, a short procedure to place ventilation tubes (grommets) resolves it. At Even Hospital, Race Course Road, an ENT surgeon confirms the diagnosis with examination and tympanometry before advising surgery.

Common questions

When are grommets advised for a child?

Typically when glue ear persists for months with hearing loss, speech concern or recurrent infections, despite adequate medical treatment. The decision follows examination and hearing tests, not a routine prescription.

What is the procedure like?

A short procedure under brief general anaesthesia: a tiny opening in the eardrum drains the fluid and a small tube keeps the ear ventilated. Grommets usually extrude on their own over time; your surgeon explains the aftercare and swimming precautions.

What does grommet insertion cost?

The consultation fee is shown on each doctor's card and is paid online while booking. If the procedure is advised, you receive a written estimate first — the final figure depends on the clinical assessment and the room category you choose — and our team assists with insurance pre-authorisation and cashless processing where your policy supports it.

How fast can I see a doctor?

Glue ear is also called fluid behind the eardrum, or otitis media with effusion. The tubes are known as grommets, ventilation tubes or tympanostomy tubes, and the operation itself is a myringotomy, done in one ear or in both ears (bilateral). The same ENT specialists, or otolaryngologists, in Bengaluru also see recurrent ear infections, hearing difficulty and speech concerns in children.

Check three things before you book. First, registration: ask for the surgeon's MBBS and ENT qualification and their medical council number, then verify it on the NMC or Karnataka Medical Council register. Second, whether the diagnosis is confirmed by examination and tympanometry rather than a routine prescription. Third, what the written estimate covers. At Even Hospital every doctor is NMC-verified, the registration number sits on each card, and the hospital is NABH 6th Edition accredited.
It is the same procedure done in both ears rather than one. A tiny opening is made in the eardrum, the trapped fluid drains, and a small tube keeps the ear ventilated. It is a short procedure under brief general anaesthesia. The grommets usually come out on their own over time, and your surgeon explains the aftercare and the swimming precautions you need to follow afterwards.

The ENT surgeon examines the ear and does tympanometry, a quick test of how the eardrum moves, before advising surgery. Grommets are typically advised when glue ear has persisted for months with hearing loss, speech concern or recurrent infections, despite adequate medical treatment. The decision follows the examination and the hearing tests, not a routine prescription, so the consultation comes first.
