In most cases Eustachian tube dysfunction can be managed conservatively and does not require specialist investigation or treatment. However, in severe or persistent cases or where there is evidence of speech/developmental delays in younger children a specialist ENT opinion may be required. GrommetsSound waves hit the eardrum. Vibrations of the eardrum pass on to tiny bones (the ossicles) in the middle ear. These bones transmit the vibrations to the cochlea in the inner ear.

This keeps the air pressure equal on either side of the eardrum.
