  I'm sorry about your hearing loss.  Yeah, treatment for most illnesses have come a long way since I was a child, too. 
Are you saying the draining can be painful?  It hurt a little bit because he suctioned it out very thoroughly! I don't know how little children can cope with something like this.  The ENT told me today that they normally will not even put tubes in children's ears until they give it a big chance to heal.  I guess they have their reasons. 
Now I know which sense I would give up if given the choice...............and the answer is "common" sense.  Leave the other ones alone!!!
