The eustachian tube equalizes the air pressure in your middle ear. The middle ear is an enclosed area; air within it is usually sequestered; this is why changes in external pressure will cause some discomfort. The tubes go from the middle ear to the nasopharynx on either side. The tube is usually closed, but can open from time to time to complete its function.
It also helps drain any fluids that may accumulate in there to help prevent possible ear infections.
(If the middle ear didn't have a path to the outside, then the partial pressure of the gasses in venous blood would suck the air out of the space.)
A tube leading from the tympanic cavity (middle ear) to the nasopharynx (region where nose meets mouth); it consists of an osseous (bony) (posterolateral) portion at the tympanic end, and a fibrocartilaginous (muscular) anteromedial portion at the pharyngeal end; where the two portions join, in the region of the sphenopetrosal fissure, is the narrowest portion of the tube (isthmus); the auditory tube enables equalization of pressure within the tympanic cavity with ambient air pressure, referred to commonly as "popping of the ears."
its also called guttural duct, otosalpinx, tuba acustica, tuba auditiva, tuba auditoria, tuba eustachiana, auditory tube, eustachian tube and otopharyngeal tube.
The Eustacian tube allows the ear to regulate the air pressure inside it.
The eustachian tubes join the nasopharynx to the middle ear. They play a part in pressure equalization and mucous drainage.

What tubes lead from the middle ear to the nasal cavity and the throat?
The tubes that lead from the middle ear to the nasal cavity and throat are called the Eustachian tubes. These tubes help regulate air pressure in the middle ear, drain fluids, and protect the ear from infections.
What happens when ear tubes are inserted?
Ear tubes can be inserted into the incision during myringotomy and left there. The eardrum heals around them, securing them in place. They usually fall out on their own in six to 12 months or are removed by a doctor.
What is the location for estachian tubes?
The eustachian tubes are the auditory tubes that link the nasopharynx to the middle ear.
Why does liquid come out of ears if the person had ear tubes?
Ear tubes are typically placed to aid in draining excess fluid from the middle ear. If liquid is coming out of the ear with tubes, it could be a sign of successful drainage of accumulated fluid or discharge from an infection. It is important to consult a healthcare professional to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
The placement of what tubes through the eardrum is to provide ongoing drainage for fluid?
The placement of ventilation tubes (tympanostomy tubes) through the eardrum helps to provide ongoing drainage for fluid that may build up in the middle ear. These tubes equalize pressure and allow for ventilation, reducing the risk of ear infections and improving hearing.
Can you have ear tubes for eczema in the ear?
Yes.
What tubes lead from the middle ear to the nasal cavity and the throat?
The tubes that lead from the middle ear to the nasal cavity and throat are called the Eustachian tubes. These tubes help regulate air pressure in the middle ear, drain fluids, and protect the ear from infections.
What do you do if you have tubes and get an ear infection?
Your doctor will most likely prescribe either antibiotics or ear drops. If you have tubes in your ears and you still get frequent ear infections, contact your physician. The ear tubes may not be working the way they should be.

What protect the ear?
eustachian tubes
What are things you should do when you get ear tubes?
pull them out of your ear or contact a doctor
What do the Eustacian tubes do?
The Eustacian tubes allow the pressure on inside the ear and out to remain equal.
Can you use peroxide in ears with tubes?
It is not recommended to use peroxide in the ears with tubes installed as it can potentially damage the tubes or cause irritation to the ear canal. It is best to consult with a healthcare provider for proper guidance on ear care when tubes are present.
What are the tubes that equalize pressure in the eardrum called?
The ear has a tube that equalizes the pressure in the eardrum. These tubes are known as the eustacean tubes.
Where are the eustachian tubes in your middle ear?
The tube right below the Cochlea in the inner ear.
Internal structure of ear?
The internal structure of the ear is fairly simple. There is an eardrum, and also tubes leading to the ear drum from the outside of the ear.
