During the swallowing exercise your body is already trying to open your Eustachian tubes, but sometimes swallowing alone isn’t enough. That’s where the Eustachi comes in………The Eustachi helps you open your Eustachian tubes, as you swallow, using a little air delivered through your nose. The Eustachi works WITH your body as you swallow. When you are swallowing the tubes are naturally opening. The air from Eustachi helps open the Eustachian tubes when swallowing isn't enough. The Eustachian tube is normally closed but opens when we swallow, yawn or chew. This allows air to get into the middle ear and any mucus to get out. This keeps the air pressure equal on either side of the eardrum.Obstructive dysfunction occurs when the valve of the Eustachian tube does not open properly. This prevents pressure from balancing and fluids from draining out of the ear. Symptoms of Obstructive Eustachian Tube Dysfunction

Steam inhalations with menthol, eucalyptus, or other oils in boiling water in the sink with a towel over the head or any other kind of inhalation device. If your symptoms have been associated with a cold or viral respiratory illness, symptoms will normally get better by themselves when the infection goes away.The Valsalva manoeuvre can be done to push air into middle ear; take a deep breath, pinch your nose and close your mouth, and gently pop your ears. Do not be very forceful. Auto-inflation devices, such as the Otovent, can be bought from your local pharmacist and help to do this. Therefore, the air pressure on the outer side of the eardrum becomes greater than the air pressure in the middle ear. This pushes the eardrum inwards. The eardrum becomes tense and does not vibrate well when hit by sound waves. What are the symptoms of Eustachian tube dysfunction? Tympanometry: This is a type of acoustic evaluation that can help determine the condition of your middle ear and eardrum. Your healthcare provider will use various types of air pressure in the ear canal to test the function of the eustachian tube. Around one in every 100 adults in the UK has Eustachian tube dysfunction. Allergies and illnesses, such as a cold or sinusitis, are the most common causes of Eustachian tube dysfunction. It occurs when negative pressure develops in the middle part of your ears — the same feeling you may experience when you’re on a plane at take off or landing.
