Abstract
104 ears with preoperative poor Eustachian tube (ET) function were analyzed 1-2 years after surgery in order to find out whether or not the ET function improves as a result of the surgical procedure. The majority of ears with poor preoperative ET function (77%) continue to have poor ET function after surgery as judged by tympanometry and ET function testings.
