Signs and Symptoms
While symptoms of ETD can be mild and may resolve after a few days, pain or discomfort in your ear can be a sign of Eustachian tube dysfunction. Common symptoms associated with persistent ETD (for more than 12 weeks) include3.
- Muffled hearing
- Fullness of the ear
- Pain in the ear
- Inability to equilibrate middle ear (ME) pressure
- Tinnitus
- Dizziness
During the past month, if any of these symptoms were either a moderate or severe problem, it may be time to talk to your doctor. Only a doctor can determine if you have persistent ETD.
To help you start the conversation, download the Patient Questionnaire or find a trained doctor near you.
