TUBES IN MY EARS
- by D.
I @m 11 ye@rs old and I'm in the 4th gr@de. I like to dr@w.
I don't remember when I got tubes put in my ears, but during Christmas vacation something funny happened. I was laying in my mother's bed and I felt a big thing in my ear. I had told my mother, "Look!" I felt something in there, and I didn't know what it was. My mother said, "It's a tube." She said that the tube was to drain the water out. She told me that when I was little I used to get a lot of ear infections. When you get a ear infection there is a lot of water in your ear.

I noticed that when I put my left ear on my pillow I didn't hear so well. My Mom told them at school that I had tubes in my ears.

Before when I had a tube in my ear and I put my right ear down on the pillow, I could not hear too much out of my left ear. Now I don't have the tube in my ear and I can hear better than before.

My advice for someone who doesn't hear the same in both their ears is to ask the teacher to repeat something if you don't hear it. Don't listen to loud music because it will affect your hearing. Write to me if u want to ask me some questions about hearing.
