Anyone have this happen? My son just had his second rupture in 4 months. I haven’t talked to pedi yet. Both times we had no heads up on the ear infection until it was nearly ruptured/draining (he did wake up in pain last night). He had tubes from 1-2.5ish but then seemed much better on infections.

I know a rupture isn’t a big deal, but wondering whether it could affect his hearing over time and whether we need to see the ENT. I’ll ask pedi but thought I would check for experience here too!
