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.
Ear tubes are plastic and shaped like a hollow spool. Doctors suggest tubes for children who have repeat ear infections or when fluid stays behind the eardrum. A specialist (otolaryngologist) places the tubes through a small surgical opening made in the eardrum (myringotomy or tympanostomy). The child is unconscious under general anesthesia for this surgery. Tubes can help with ear infections because they: 1  Allow air to enter the middle ear. 2  Allow fluid to flow out of the middle ear through the tube into the ear canal. 3  Clear the fluid from the middle ear and restore hearing.
