Hear From Hummingbird Parents

Our son recovered immediately and he was awesome for the rest of the day. The procedure was easy on my child and easy on me as a parent.

— Amanda, Mother of Barrett

We got Hummingbird ear tubes for my son and it was a no brainer to do the same when my daughter needed tubes. We would do it again for our third child.

— Chelsea, Mother of Tucker

No need for general anesthesia and arguably more important, no need to ask our toddler to fast before the procedure was completed! It was also much less expensive than traditional ear tubes.

— Devon, Father of Charlotte

Couldn’t have been more amazed at how quick this procedure was. This has been a true life saver.

— Leanne, Mother of Elaina
