But, in the end, it was Birdie that came out the winner. And, coincidentally, Birdiebee is also the name of Brie's lingerie brand with twin sister Nikki Bella! Looking ahead the next few months, Brie and Bryan already have a plan set in place for Birdie's arrival into the world. I'm preparing for a natural birth, the WWE star tells the magazine.
Tympanostomy tubes generally remain in the eardrum for six months to two years, with T-tubes lasting up to four years. They generally spontaneously fall out of the eardrum as the skin of the eardrum slowly migrates out towards the ear canal wall over time.
When a child has repeated ear infections or fluid build-up in the ears that do not go away easily or there are hearing problems or speech delays, a doctor may recommend surgery to insert an ear tube to allow the eardrum to equalize the pressure. The surgery, called a myringotomy, is a tiny incision in the eardrum. Any fluid, usually thickened secretions will be removed. In most situations, a small plastic tube (a tympanostomy tube) is inserted into the eardrum to keep the middle ear aerated for a prolonged period of time. These ventilating tubes remain in place for six months to several years.
