Babies and toddlers who need a tracheostomy -- a tube surgically inserted into their windpipe to help relieve breathing problems -- are at a high risk of accumulating fluid behind their eardrum when ...

Not every kid should get ear tubes to relieve excessive fluid buildup in the middle-ear canal, says a first-ever clinical guideline for physicians released last week. An extensive body of research ...

Otitis media with effusion (OME) is a leading cause of conductive hearing loss, especially in children. The condition quietly builds as sterile fluid accumulates in the middle ear cavity, muffling ...
