[0038] like Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an I-shaped tympanic membrane ventilation tube in the prior art.

[0039] The above two are currently commonly used ventilation tube structures. During long-term use, it is found that they have problems such as tube blockage, falling off, and being difficult to find. Example 1

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the tympanic membrane ventilation tube of this embodiment includes:

[0041] The tube body 2 is provided with a through hole inside;

[0042] The first limiting portion 5 is provided at the upper end of the tube body 2 and is used for limiting the position inside the eardrum;

The marking layer 64 is a combination of one or more of a reflective coating, a metal coating, and a magnetic coating. The provision of the marking layer 64 facilitates the operator to find relevant structures in the ear. Example 4

[0051] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the lower part of the tube body 2 is provided with ventilation holes 9, and a plurality of ventilation holes 9 are arranged on the tube body 2, and the ventilation holes 9 are connected with the through-type through holes. The arrangement of the ventilation holes 9 can still ensure the ventilation effect when the through-type through holes are blocked.

[0052] The above embodiment ensures convenience during use and prevents the ventilation tube from falling into the middle ear. The setting of the limit strip on the right side makes it easy for the user to find the ventilation tube in the ear and facilitates quick finding and removal.
