Is debrox drops okay for people with ear tubes?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Debrox should not be used in any ear that may have a hole, and a tube by definition is holding a hole open in the ear drum.

NO: Studies in animals have shown that debrox causes death to hair cells. These are the cells in the cochlea that are responsible for hearing.
