You mean a Tympanostomy tube.

The eustachian tubes are a part of the body, that connect the middle ear chamber to the pharynx.

Thank you. I didn’t hear my daughter clearly when she said little Brady was having the proceedure done. Our kids never had many ear infections so this was the first I’d really heard about that particular proceedure.

Our ENT guy said they still put stents in the Eustachian tube for infants. Perhaps “unkus” meant a stent?
