A member asked:

How do you tell if you have a eustachian tube my ear farts an won't pop when forced is that a sign?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: An audiological test called a tympanogram can determine if you have a blocked Eustachian tube. The fact that you can not inflate the middle ear when you force air into the back of your nose is certainly a sign that the Eustachian tube is blocked. An ENT doctor can also give you help.
