One thing I will say about tubes in the ear is that when done right, the procedure for getting them in is pretty painless. Had tubes throughout most of my early childhood, so I don't really remember them, but I did have to get a tube put in within the last 5 or so years. Worst part was the slight burning sensation of the stuff they put in to ensure it wouldn't hurt. Otherwise, no pain whatsoever.
Did having the tube in affect your healing at all?
If you mean hearing, then probably as a kid considering I used to get a lot of ear infections. Pretty sure it might have helped last time as well because of the inside being cleared of things blocking sound.
As for healing, it must have been doing something helpful as a kid considering I think I had something like 2-3 sets put in to help with fluid/whatever drainage. And I assume it helped last time considering they found out I needed another one when I went in for an ear infection.
