Abnormality of the Eustachian tube
|
 |
| |
The Eustachian tube is the connective medium leading from the middle ear to the back of the throat and to the nose. This tube is also called the auditory opening; when we yawn or swallow, the Eustachian tube adjusts the air pressure in the middle ear to the external stimuli. When bacterial, viral, allergens and other infections attack the nose and/or the throat, the Eustachian tube is fast affected.
Children's Eustachian tubes are narrower and shorter, that's why most of their sinusitis and throat disorders are typically accompanied by an ear infection, particularly tinnitus. Nose and throat infections spread to the ear via the Eustachian tube.
When the middle ear becomes inflamed, fluid or pus may build up, pushing on the ear drum and causing pain. When there is a fluid or pus build up in the ear the eardrum cannot vibrate and the sufferer may experience decreased hearing or develop tinnitus until the pus or fluids is removed.
Other factors that may cause or worsen tinnitus:
