Explanation

Armstrong grommet tubes are small devices used in medical procedures to help with ear problems. They are often used when someone has frequent ear infections or hearing issues caused by fluid build-up in the middle ear. The tubes are inserted into the ear during a minor surgery to allow air to enter and fluid to drain from the middle ear. This can help to reduce pain, improve hearing, and prevent future infections.
