I had tubes put in 7 times. I had HORRIBLE hearing when I was really young (I was actually born almost completly deaf). As I got older, my hearing got better, and after the last time they fell out (about 5-6 years ago) I haven't needed them. Just make sure that she wears ear plugs whenever she's around water! I used a swimmers headband, and it covers the ears so that she can't get water in them, but she can still hear you when you talk.
