Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This study will determine if the investigators can use certain tests (eustachian tube function tests and gas exchange tests) to predict whether or not a child who had tubes surgically placed in their eardrum because of middle-ear disease will redevelop the disease again after the tubes quit working.
