My daughter had her tubes placed at 5 1/2 mos. She hadn't had any ear infections before that, but ENT felt it was needed because of the cleft. Once she had them, THEN she started getting infections. The tubes lasted 8mos, when 1 tube was replaced and the other was still in. She is now 2, her hearing registers mild loss, she had a double infection in Oct, and still had fluid a month later. But fluid drained on its own and the last tube finally worked its way out last week. She seems fine, no signs of any more infections, but then I hadn't noticed the last double infection!
