@sometireguy I was thrilled to get tubes in my ears for flying back in my working days. Otherwise I had serious pain and twice I had eardrums that ruptured internally - the layers separated & it filled with blood requiring ER trips. I did not notice anything weird about the sounds. I had them 2-3 times over the years.

I am considering getting them soon for a trip to Ireland. I’m still debating this in my head. Was it a painful procedure for you? My doctor will do it in her office. She said to have it done a few weeks before the trip in case I don’t like them and want them removed. I had not heard anything about wanting them removed. It got me thinking….more.
