Eustachian tube dysfunction
-
Although the Eustachian tube is believed to regulate air pressure, remove mucus and protect the ear, the tube itself is often the cause of many disorders. A closed and blocked ear, earache when flying, glue ear, moisture behind the eardrum, hum in the ear, own voice that is much too loud, sounds that sound dull, popping sounds in the ear, popping, clicking, cracking. No symptom is crazy enough for the hopeless Eustachian tube that is driving people worldwide to despair.
Air pressure in the ear
-
Without the Eustachian tube, the middle ear would be an isolated bubble in the head, vulnerable to any change in air pressure and infection. If you hear a popping or snapping noise in the ear when you are in a fast elevator, driving in the mountains or on an airplane, it is because the Eustachian tube is permeable at that moment, opens up briefly and adjusts the air pressure. This is regulated by tightening the tensor veli palatini muscle
Eustachian tube too dense
-
Eustachian tube dysfunction is common, especially one that does not adequately regulate air pressure. In other words, the tube is tight when it has to open correctly. There is a sensation of a full ear

Eustachian tube blocked by inflammation
-
If the Eustachian tube does not open properly, this can lead to a build-up of fluid in the middle ear, which contributes to hearing impairment. If this fluid is inflamed, ie contains pus, the condition is called otitis media with effusion, or OME for short. This is also called a glue ear
Sinus mucus
-
In addition to the blocked Eustachian tube, there can alternately be 'post nasal drip'
Eustachian tube blockage treatment
-
To see if someone has a blocked, dense Eustachian tube there is a test called tympanometry

Open Eustachian / Tuba Aperta tube
-
The Eustachian tube that is too open is also called a Patulous eustachian tube, PET for short, and gives the opposite image. The tube accidentally remains open continuously and has literally become too wide, causing serious symptoms. There is atrophy of the mucous membrane and / or an atrophy of the tensor veli palatini muscle, a shrinking of important tissues. The main symptom of a tuba aperta is the so-called autophony
Consequences Tuba Aperta
-
Other symptoms of a tuba aperta are popping and clicking in the ear, pulsating or not in the ears, dizziness due to constant air pressure changes in the head, hypersensitivity to sound, echoes to sound and various other sensations in the ear
Causes Tuba Aperta
-
There are some hints that may indicate the origin of the problems. In contrast to the cause of an obstruction in the Eustachian tube, namely inflammation, the cause of a tuba aperta is a dysfunction in the muscle tissue of the Eustachian tube. The elasticity of the cartilage, inner lining, surrounding muscles and adipose tissue are all responsible for keeping the Eustachian tube closed. A change in any of these components can cause a patulous Eustachian tube. It mainly occurs with rapid weight loss

Mixed form open / closed Eustachian tube
-
Sometimes research results contradict each other and apparently someone has a closed Eustachian tube and the next time an open tube. Symptoms are also variable and indicate both conditions at the same time. Sometimes the Eustachian tube is closed at rest, but opens during (vigorous) exercise. An obstruction in the Eustachian tube can even slowly transform into a tuba aperta. A dysfunctional Eustachian tube is generally a tube that does not regulate air pressure properly and can therefore show all kinds of malfunctions in the opening and closing mechanism
