Chronic ear infections can disrupt a child’s development and cause significant discomfort. At ENT Specialists of Austin, our talented physicians understand how challenging it can be for parents to watch their children struggle with ear issues. That’s why we’re proud to be one of the only offices to offer Tula® in-office ear tube placement, an innovative solution that makes ear infection treatment easier for both kids and their families.
What Are Tula Ear Tubes?
Tula (short for tympanostomy under local anesthesia) ear tubes are small, hollow cylinders designed to provide long-term relief for recurring ear infections. These tubes allow air to flow into the middle ear while draining fluid, preventing the buildup that leads to infections and hearing issues.
This advanced technology enables the procedure to be done in-office, saving families the time and expense of hospital-based care. It’s a safe and effective solution that has been widely praised for reducing the stress often associated with pediatric ear procedures.
Why Is Tula a Game-Changer for Kids?
Traditional ear tube surgery often requires general anesthesia, which can be a source of anxiety for parents and children alike. The Tula system removes that hurdle entirely. By performing the procedure in-office, children avoid the risks associated with anesthesia, and the process is completed in a fraction of the time.
Tula ear tubes can provide immediate relief from fluid buildup for kids with recurring ear infections, reducing the risk of hearing loss and other complications. Parents also appreciate the faster recovery time, which allows their child to return to normal activities almost immediately.
