A member asked:
When i do the vasalva maneuver the pressure stays in the middle ear and won't equalize. does that mean i have eustachian tube dysfunction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, the eustachian tubes may be blocked. However, if the middle ears are filled with fluid you may not be able to move the eardrums during the Valsava maneuver.
