Whether your Eustachian tube is blocked or not can be determined by symptoms and auxiliary tests.
1. Symptoms: The Eustachian tube is the tube that communicates between the tympanic chamber and the nasopharyngeal cavity. Blockage of the Eustachian tube can cause abnormal symptoms such as stuffy feeling in the ear, loss of hearing and tinnitus. If the above symptoms occur, you can go to the hospital for further examination to determine whether the Eustachian tube is blocked.
2. Auxiliary examination: If there are typical clinical symptoms, the doctor will observe the morphology and activity of the tympanic membrane with the help of otoscope, understand the type and degree of hearing abnormality through pure tone audiometry, and read whether the pressure inside the tympanic chamber is normal with the combination of acoustic impedance examination.
Therefore, if you have symptoms such as stuffiness in the ear and hearing loss, you should actively consult a doctor and combine with the appropriate auxiliary examinations to determine whether the Eustachian tube is blocked.
