What Is Eustachian Tube Dysfunction?
The eustachian tubes are small passageways that connect the middle ear to the back of the throat, helping to equalize pressure and drain fluid. When these tubes become blocked or fail to function properly, ear pressure, discomfort, and muffled hearing can occur—a condition known as eustachian tube dysfunction treatment.
Common Symptoms of ETD Include:
- The feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear.
- Muffled or distorted hearing.
- Frequent popping or clicking sensations.
- Pain, especially with altitude changes (flying or driving in the mountains).
