First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is checking how well the Solo+ tympanostomy tube works in people with middle ear infections. Researchers will review doctor notes, monitor how the tubes function after surgery, and ask patients or their parents about their experience. The goal is to gather real-world information on the device's performance and safety in both people who have already had the procedure and those who are scheduled for it.
