Think Neuro Mini: Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Relating to Nasal and Sinus Issues with Dr. Michael Yong

The eustachian tube connects the middle ear to the nasopharynx (back of the nose). It helps aerate the middle ear as well as equalizing pressure such as when flying in an airplane. Sometimes the eustachian tube does not function as it is supposed to and sometimes this may be related to concurrent nasal and sinus issues. Learn more about what can go wrong and how to remedy it.
