Catheterization of the Eustachian tube – with purpose of opening the Eustachian tube, which is often the cause of conductive hearing loss. The catheter is inserted through the nose. Before the examination, the doctor will anesthetize you with a local anesthetic, e.g. in a form of spray. First, the catheter is inserted straight into the throat, which then is twisted at right angle once reaching the back of the throat. After a moment, it reaches the level of the Eustachian tube. Next, a drug is introduced to the outer end of the catheter together with the so-called Politzer balloon. The drug is packed into the pharyngeal orifice of the Eustachian tube. After delivering the medication, the catheter is removed. The treatment is repeated in series.
