The Eustachian tube connects the throat and the middle ear (the site of a typical  ear infection ) and allows air to travel between them and equalize the pressures. When the Eustachian tube is temporarily pinched off, pressure can build up in the middle ear.
Visitation is a matter of state law, but generally speaking, every state allows parents to exercise a reasonable amount of visitation with their children, which generally means enough time to establish and maintain a meaningful relationship.
General visitation is between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. 1  Special Requests: Your family may arrange special visiting hours with your nurse. We accommodate special needs when possible. 2  Birth Center: The baby's father, designated friend or immediate family member may stay with the mother during labor and delivery.
