Eustachian tube switching abnormality is an ENT disorder.
Eustachian tube switching abnormality means that the eustachian tube is often open or over-open due to various reasons and causes symptoms. Breathing hard for a long time, swallowing too much, chewing too much, mental overstress, and autonomic disorders can make the palatine muscles and other muscles responsible for the opening of the Eustachian tube in a state of high tension for a long period of time, so that the Eustachian tube does not close properly.
Atrophic rhinitis, atrophic pharyngitis, acute and chronic inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, nasopharyngeal surgery, high-dose radiotherapy, and endocrine disorders, etc., caused by the mucosa of the pharyngeal eustachian tube, submucosal atrophy of elastic fibers and fat cushions, scar traction, and nerve paralysis, etc., can also make the morphology of the eustachian tube, function abnormal, and produce adverse symptoms.
When the lumen of the Eustachian tube is enlarged, the Eustachian tube loses the tissue pressure needed to maintain its closed state, causing poor Eustachian tube closure or inability to close, while the middle ear and nasopharynx often maintain an open passageway, and the sound of the airflow during breathing and the sound of speech can enter the tympanic chamber directly.
After the occurrence of Eustachian tube switching abnormality, you can actively consult the ENT department for systematic examination to clarify the diagnosis and cause of the disease, and actively treat it.
