Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is the failure of the Eustachian tube in maintaining pressure equalization or mucociliary transport. This is categorized as either acute (less than 3 months presentation) or chronic ETD (more than 3 months). ETD affects 1% of the population, with symptoms including aural fullness or ‘popping sounds,’ reduced hearing, tinnitus, autophony, otalgia, and imbalance. It can be broadly categorized into baro-challenged induced, patulous, and dilatory ETD. This activity outlines the types of Eustachian tube dysfunction, the associated risk factors, and the appropriate evaluation and management of the condition by an interprofessional team.
