15-Minute Outpatient Procedure
Helps Children With Chronic Earaches

Earaches are very common in young children, especially in the winter and early spring months. But if your child suffers from chronic earaches, hearing loss, ear pain or speech impediment, it might be due to inflammation of the middle ear, also known as otitis media. This condition can occur in one or both ears and poses serious health risks to children.

Hearing loss, especially in children, may impair learning capacity and even delay speech development. Otitis media can also infect nearby structures in the head. That's why it is so important that your child gets treated promptly and effectively.

If your child suffers from any of the symptoms listed above, look to Dr. Thomas M. Crews at Statesboro ENT and Hearing Clinic. After examining your child's ears, he will make the appropriate treatment recommendation, which may include medication or ear tube surgery.

If medication doesn't clear up your child's otitis media, ear tubes are an excellent solution.

"Ear tubes offer many benefits for children," says Dr. Crews adding, "They can help reduce the risk of possible ear infections and restore hearing in some kids who experience hearing problems." And Dr. Crews says parents appreciate the comfort level he brings to their children. "I perform the ear tube procedure in my office in just 15 minutes, and parents can sit and hold their child's hand the entire time. This gives parents and their children the peace of mind they want and deserve."

Dr. Crews is BOARD-CERTIFIED in Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery
and has successfully performed thousands of ear tube surgeries.
