I believe the answer is:

grommet

(Other definitions for grommet that I've seen before include "Tube passed through eardrum to drain it" , "Ring of rope or metal" , "Eyelet lining a small hole" , "Ring of rubber to line a hole and prevent chafing" , "Tube in eardrum to drain and ventilate ear" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
