Patulous Eustachian tube is frequently misdiagnosed as standard congestion due to the similarity in symptoms and rarity of the disorder. Audiologists are more likely to recognize the disorder, usually with tympanometry or nasally delivered masking noise during a hearing assessment, which is highly sensitive to this condition.
Anatomic obstruction within the proximal cartilaginous eustachian tube. [5] Dilatory Eustachian tube dysfunction: Functional, dynamic (muscle failure), or anatomical obstruction of the Eustachian tube; Baro-challenge induced Eustachian tube dysfunction: Eustachian tube dysfunction which generally features a normal otoscopy and normal tympanometry

The singer was dealing with a condition called Patulous Eustachian tube dysfunction, which occurs when the tube that connects the middle ear to the sinus cavity remains open, according to Johns ...
The superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome (SSCDS) is a set of hearing and balance symptoms that a rare disease/disorder of the inner ear's superior semicircular canal/duct induces.

Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, inflammation or mass within the nasal cavity, middle ear, or eustachian tube itself; Otosclerosis, abnormal growth of bone in or near the middle ear; Middle ear tumour; Ossicular discontinuity as a consequence of infection or temporal bone trauma; Congenital malformation of the ossicles.
Enlargement of the Eustachian tube opening in the nose with laser or balloon dilation is being evaluated as a potential treatment for tympanic membrane retraction. [13] [14] There are two methods for this technique: Dennis Poe popularized the transnasal introduction of the balloon catheter to dilate the distal (nose end of the Eustachian tube ...
