Discharge from Ventilation Tube
In addition to equalizing air pressure, the lumen in a ventilation tube provides a pathway for discharge of an infection from the middle ear into the external canal. This was the cause of the discharge...
Extruded Ventilation Tube on the External Canal...
Over time, an extruded ventilation tube will be carried out of the ear canal by the normal migratory function of the external canal skin.
Ventilation Tube Blocked
If the central lumen of a ventilation tube becomes blocked then the benefits of equalizing air pressure or allowing drainage from the middle ear ceases.
Stainless Steel Ear Ventilation Tube
