Patulous Eustachian Tube treatment in Chihuahua

Abnormal patency of the Eustachian tube refers to a dysfunction of this passage, which connects the middle ear with the back of the nose and regulates ear pressure and drainage. When it stays open longer than it should, its normal function is disrupted.

Common symptoms: a sensation of a plugged ear, hearing your own voice or breathing echo inside the ear, and discomfort that changes with the position of the head.

When to seek care? Ear discomfort that persists or is bothersome in daily life warrants an evaluation.

Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the specialist who evaluates the Eustachian tube and its function. If you notice these symptoms in your ear, discussing them with this professional helps pinpoint the cause.
