Service Details
Overview of the ear popper procedure:
An ear popper is a device that can be used to treat symptoms of eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD). ETD is a condition in which the eustachian tubes, which connect the middle ear to the back of the throat, become blocked or do not function properly.
More information about the ear popper procedure:
- Preparing for the treatment: The patient is instructed to sit or lie down comfortably. The healthcare provider will insert a small tip into the patient's nostril, and the patient will be asked to hold the opposite nostril closed.
- Performing the treatment: The ear popper uses a gentle stream of air to equalize pressure in the middle ear. The device delivers a short burst of air through the nostril, which travels up to the middle ear and opens the Eustachian tube, allowing air to flow into the middle ear and equalize pressure.
- Repeat treatment: The treatment may be repeated several times on both ears until the desired pressure is achieved.
