Can you pull ear tubes out of ears?


Can you pull ear tubes out of ears? The tube usually falls out on its own, pushed out as the eardrum heals. A tube generally stays in the ear anywhere from 6 months to 18 months, depending on the type of tube used. If the tube stays in the eardrum beyond 2 to 3 years, though, your doctor might choose to remove it surgically.
