Severe Complications With Eustachian Tubes

Eustachian Tube Dysfunction

Photo Credit: MyPositiveParenting

Eustachian tube dysfunction occurs when the eustachian tube does not open properly or is blocked. When this occurs, air cannot get through to the middle ear, which causes pressure on the external side of the eardrum and pushes it inward. Due to increased pressure, the eardrum becomes tense and does not vibrate as well when hit by sound waves. This causes a loss of hearing or a muffled sound, pain in the eardrum, and a feeling of fullness in the ear.
