" I had chronic ear infections when I was little but as far as I know my ears are fine now. I don't hear the best but that's because I've gone to a few too many loud concerts. :-) "

" My daughter is 2 and has Mosaic form of TS, but she had an ear infection for 2 months straight and had tubes placed in her ears. She is doing much better now. Not sure if it is totally related to TS or not, but it has helped her a lot. "
