   Balloon Eustachian tuboplasty (BET) [1] is a minimally invasive procedure for the causal treatment of Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD), an often-chronic disorder in which the regulation of middle ear pressure and the removal of secretions are impaired. The dysfunction often causes significant discomfort in affected patients and can trigger ...

   Those requiring myringotomy usually have an obstructed or dysfunctional eustachian tube that is unable to perform drainage or ventilation in its usual fashion.

9. Conductive hearing loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conductive_hearing_loss

   Major causes are ear infections or conditions that block the eustachian tube, such as allergies or tumors. [3] Blocking of the eustachian tube leads to decreased pressure in the middle ear relative to the external ear, and this causes decreased motion of both the ossicles and the tympanic membrane.
