Why are you so hesitant?
I can tell you that I had ear tubes a number of times in my adulthood, and the pain/pressure relief was wonderful. It has been 20 years since my last tubes, and so far no excessive scarring - they are worse from the infections I had earlier in life that lead to ruptured ear drums. My kids and my Dad all had them too, and experienced lass pain & fewer infections.
