Problems with the Eustachian Tube: what it is and where you can get treated at the Clinica Diaz Caparros

The experts at the Díaz Caparrós clinic explain this common hearing problem, and what you can do to treat it

March 3 is World Hearing Day, an annual global advocacy event aimed at raising awareness of the problem of hearing loss and promoting ear and hearing care. It’s estimated that the average person takes between seven and ten years to seek help with hearing loss, by which point their condition may have worsened considerably, so it’s worth checking out any niggling problems at the first sign of trouble.

For instance, do you have pressure in your ears, do you hear distortion in your own voice or breathing, and are you bothered by loud noises? If the answer to any of these is yes, Clínica Díaz Caparrós clinic in Cartagena invites you to continue reading this article about a possible cause: the Patulous Eustachian tube or PET.

Normally, the Eustachian tube closes at rest and opens quickly with any movement of the mouth, such as yawning, swallowing and speaking. This is to allow an exchange of air between the middle ear and the outside, but in some cases, this does not occur and discomfort arises as a result of the Eustachian tube remaining open longer than usual.

Some of the symptoms that the experts at the Clínica Díaz Caparrós have treated in consultation and which patients suffer from are feeling pressure in the ears or hearing a distortion in their own voice or breathing. In other cases, they have found the relationship of the apparatus with the Eustachian tube to be pathological when it occurs alongside:

Sudden weight loss
Pregnancy
Neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis
Anxiety or exhaustion

The specialists at the Diaz Caparrós clinic are experts in the different diseases that cause poor tubal function. It is quite easy to diagnose with an otoendoscopy and thanks to complementary tests such as impedanciometry, tubal tests, nasal endoscopy, audiometry and using imaging tests.

The Díaz Caparrós clinic and its founder, Dr. Felix Díaz Caparrós, is the only one in Spain that currently treats the Patulous Eustachian tube and there are 3 lines of treatment with successful results:

Dilation of the tube using a balloon
Laser treatment on the tube
Tubal closure using filling materials

The choice of which of these solutions is best for you depends on each patient’s specific diagnosis, but the results are always very satisfactory.
