Everybody is different. The tubes frequently fall out on their own, all in one piece. They are pretty tiny, like a quarter-inch piece of pencil lead, but flexible. It won't hurt.

When they come out they are complete tubes not fragments. My son had tubes in his ears three times as a little kid. I would guess yours are close to coming out now as your canals enlarge after 1 1/2 years. You could ask your ear doctor to check what is happening.

My son had tubes put in his ears. They came out on their own about 2 years later. They just dropped out. He didn't tell me he hurt at all.

Your healthcare professional is really the only one that should answer your question. She/he has the details particular to your case.
