What You Should Know About Eustachian Tube Dysfunction
Wriggle your jaw. This very simple maneuver is known as the first technique of the Edmonds maneuver. Simply jut your jaw forward, then wriggle it back and forth, from side to side. If the ear blockage is mild, this action can pop your Eustachian tube open and reestablish normal air flow.
Tympanostomy tubes, also known as ear tubes, may be inserted to help with persistent drainage and blockage in the middle ear. Balloon dilation of the eustachian tube can also help some patients. In this procedure, a balloon catheter is placed in the eustachian tube through the nose, filled with saline, emptied, and removed.
