Webinar: The Patulous Eustachian tube is a rare condition where the Eustachian tube remains abnormally open rather than staying closed. This condition affects approximately 1% of the population and can lead to a range of unique and often challenging symptoms. Unlike the more common dysfunction, where the tube becomes blocked, a Patulous Eustachian tube may cause symptoms such as a sensation of fullness in the ear, excessive hearing of one’s own voice (autophony), and a persistent feeling of imbalance. These symptoms can significantly impact daily life and require careful attention. Due to its rarity and the distinct nature of its symptoms, the Webinar: Patulous Eustachian tube offers a fascinating area for clinical study and investigation. Proper understanding of this condition is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective management, as it demands a different approach compared to more common Eustachian tube disorders.
