I have a tube in my right ear. They placed it under anesthesia (it only took a couple minutes) and just placed some cotton in it. Afterward I just had to put drops in a couple times a day for about a week. It has been in there for a while now (about 2 years) and the only time I even remember it's there is when my ENT checks it. I haven't had any infections or pain with the tube in. Good luck
