hello. My dd had an ear tube in one ear twice as a kid. Hers last one fell out a couple months ago and her ear has a lot of pressure. I’m sure she will need another tube. As a kid they put her under for the surgery. As an adult her current ENT Dr. said now that she’s older she can probably get it done in the doctor office with a sponge type thing that numbs the ear etc. I’d like to know if anyone has had it done in the doctor office being awake and how it was. Did it hurt, was it easy and painless etc? We will be going on a trip in two months that requires flying. She’s in college right now but in spring break this week(appt this week just to have ent look at it) but she won’t be back u til toward the end of May. She will be home 5 days before our trip. Trying to get this all sorted with options.
So is it best to do it in the doctors office with numbing or put to sleep with surgery
