Abstract

Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD) is a common otological condition that often leads to conductive hearing loss. This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of conductive hearing loss in ETD patients, focusing on the monitoring and preservative treatment using the Otovent pneumotherapy method. Our research encompasses a thorough assessment of ETD-related hearing impairment, the efficacy of Otovent pneumotherapy in restoring Eustachian tube function, and the impact of preservative treatments on long-term outcomes. By combining clinical data, audiometric measurements, and patient-reported outcomes, we provide valuable insights into the management of ETD-induced hearing loss. Our findings emphasize the importance of early diagnosis, personalized treatment strategies, and the potential of Otovent pneumotherapy as a non-invasive intervention.
