Overview:
The Eustachian tubes connect the middle ear to the back of the nose, helping regulate ear pressure and drain fluid. Eustachian tube dysfunction occurs when these tubes become blocked or fail to open properly, leading to ear fullness, muffled hearing, popping sensations, or pain.
Treatments
Medications
Decongestants, antihistamines, or nasal sprays can help reduce swelling around the Eustachian tubes.
Autoinflation
Gently blowing air into the Eustachian tubes by pinching the nose and exhaling can help equalize pressure.
Balloon Dilation
A minimally invasive procedure that uses a small balloon to open the Eustachian tubes and improve function.
Surgical Options
In severe cases, ear tubes may be placed to assist with drainage and pressure regulation.
