Proposed article merge
[edit]Sure, it makes sense to merge Tympanostomy tubes, Myringotomy, & Myringotomy with Tubes. 66.26.88.42 16:03, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Laser section reads like an ad
[edit]WHOA wikivertizement on the laser part. That is bad. 71.86.123.248 (talk) 14:08, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- If I understand the above comment, it is someone objecting to the laser part reading a bit like an ad. I agree, having just stumbled across this article. I did some minor edits to improve it, but the cited success rates still sound like an ad. It still needs some material on success rates for the traditional incisional approach.

Aftercare: earlobe folding?
[edit]I had this surgery when I was a child, probably about 1980. While showering I was instructed to put my hand over my outer earlobe, and fold the upper earlobe down by about 90 degrees or so to prevent water and soap entry into the ear canal. I've been doing some web searching, and apparently this lobe-folding procedure is not recommended anymore? I am not finding anything to cite as a reference. -- DMahalko (talk) 07:12, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
A section is not clear
[edit]I quote: "Traditional metal tubes have been replaced by more popular silicon, titanium, polyethylene, gold, stainless steel, or fluoroplastic tubes."
Excuse me? Silicon, titanium, gold and stainless steel are metals! What were "traditional metal tubes" made of, exactly, and in which way do they differ from the "more popular" versions? Devil Master (talk) 22:31, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
