How long do grommets usually last?
On average, grommets usually last around 6 to 12 months, but may last for less or more time. Due to the shape of the grommets, your eardrum skin eventually pushes them out, and the hole heals over. In some cases, you may need a minor procedure to close the hole. If your glue ear comes back, grommets may need to be inserted again; however, the risk of glue ear reduces with age.
