AUDITORY TUBE DYSFUNCTION

Diagnosis and treatment of tubal dysfunctions

Blocked ears, unable to fly or snorkel beyond 2 meters! Sounds like your Eustachian tube (auditory tube) does not work!

Inseparable from era diseases with which it shares both the anatomy and especially the function, the auditory tube has so far remained the great unknown in otology. Recent knowledge of its physiology, the possibility of objectively measuring its possible dysfunctions and being able to treat them medically or surgically have radically modified the diagnostic and therapeutic approach of patients. The functional exploration of TE is an essential tool in the management of multiple otological pathologies. Indeed, many otological pathologies such as chronic otitis, cholesteatomatous or not, dysbaric problems of seafarers or professional divers or not, certain types of tinnitus or deafness depending on an optimal associated management of the Underlying tubal pathology can allow clinical improvement and its sustainability.

Doctor Mathilde Serra leads a dedicated clinic in tubal dysfunctions. Thanks to its experience, the Ear Institute has the capacity to diagnose and treat these debilitating pathologies.
