There are certain risks associated with ear tube placement, although they are generally considered safe procedures. Common risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, and persistent ear drainage. Less common risks can include damage to the eardrum or small bones in the ear, and the rare risk of hearing loss or balance problems. It is important to discuss these risks with a healthcare professional before considering ear tube placement.
