Objective: The patulous eustachian tube (ET) seems to be caused by a longitudinal concave
defect in the mucosal valve at the superior aspect of its anterolateral wall and causes …

Abstract Background Dysfunction of the Eustachian tube (ET) can lead to negative pressure
within the middle ear, which, in turn, causes various pathological changes. Multiple testing …

Objective To determine the role played by the tensor veli palatini and levator veli palatini
muscles (mTVP and mLVP, respectively) in eustachian tube (ET) opening. Design …

Objective: There is no agreement on the best clinical test for Eustachian tube (ET)
dysfunction. Numerous tests have been developed to detect ET opening, and all require a …

Purpose There is currently no gold standard for the diagnosis of eustachian tube (ET)
dysfunction. To provide an objective basis for the clinical diagnosis of ET dysfunction, we …

Objective: This study evaluated the relationship between radiation and Eustachian tube
dysfunction, and examined the radiation dose required to induce otitis media with effusion …

Conclusion: Sonotubometry with perfect sequences (PSEQ) was able to detect eustachian
tube (ET) openings in both normal and pathological ears. Impaired ears showed ET …

The aim of this study was the introduction of a specific class of signals, the so-called perfect
sequences (PSEQ), in a novel approach for sonotubometry of the Eustachian tube (ET) …

Sonotubometry is a simple test for Eustachian tube (ET) opening during a maneuver.
Different sonotubometry configurations were suggested to maximize test accuracy, but no …

The influence of Eustachian tube (ET) dysfunction on the inner ear fluid pressure and thus
on the inner ear function in Meniere's disease has been discussed controversially. So far …
