How to Deal With Patulous Eustachian Tubes
Patulous Eustachian tubes is an abnormal condition in which the Eustachian tubes of the patient remain open when they should normally remain closed. This results in the sound of the patient’s breathing, swallowing, heart-beat, talking, etc. vibrating on the ear-drum. It is extremely common for the patients and even the doctors to confuse this disorder with blocked Eustachian tube or Eustachian tube dysfunction.
If you are suffering from Patulous Eustachian tubes, you can go for surgery to get the problem resolved. However, it is much better to try out the natural remedies first before opting for the surgical treatment.
