Do children's ears bleed when the tubes fall out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. James Ferguson answered

Some do: The tubes may produce some tearing of the ear drum when they are extruded. Some bleed during the process to a noticable degree and many do not.

Dr Diede and another doctor agreed
