Are tubes for draining ears a good idea for a 2 yr old? his hearing is just below the levels. we are hesitant in getting tubes. other options?

Tubes: Tubes can be very helpful for draining ears

To do or not ??: The "tube" is a temporary substitute for the non-working Eustachian tube in infants.With ET in kids blocked, mucous made by the ear inner walls accumulates & acts as food for germs leading to infections.Tubes prevent the mucous from accumulating. No fluid= no infection=better hearing=better language development= less lost nights sleep.Do nothing= ?
