I am 43 years old and have had tubes put in 5 times as an adult. The longest amount of time was for 9 years. These were extended term tubes. I have chronic problems with fluid build-up. Without the tubes I wouldn't hear anything. I am put under for any surgery because there is so much scar tissue build-up in my ears. There is minimal pain after the surgery, basically a full feeling in my ears. Hope this helps.
