	Middle Ear Infections and Ear Tube Surgery
		The infections are most common in kids between the ages of 6 months and 2 years, although children of all ages may occasionally suffer from OM.
		Although the infections are relatively easy to treat, if a child has had multiple ear infections that do not get better easily or has evidence of hearing loss or speech delay, a doctor may suggest ear tube surgery (also called bilateral myringotomy and tubes, or BMT).
		Although ear tube surgery is a relatively common procedure, surgery is not the first choice of treatment for otitis media.
