Otitis media with effusion (OME) is very common in children and characterized by fluid in the middle ear without signs or symptoms of acute ear infection. Treatment options are tympanostomy tubes and/or adenoidectomy. However OME often reoccurs after these procedures. Goal of this study will be to evaluate the Balloon Eustachian Tuboplasty (BET) in children as an additional treatment option and to assess long-term effects of BET. Beside the standard procedure, children (4 to 10 years of age), with equal pathology on both ears, will be assigned for BET on side.
