When is grommet surgery recommended? Grommet surgery may be considered when fluid in the middle ear persists, hearing is affected, or recurrent infections impact quality of life.

For others, it is loud, relentless and disruptive,

They are usually recommended to help with problems such as glue ear, recurrent ear infections and hearing difficulties.
