What Is Balloon Dilation of the Eustachian Tube?

Balloon dilation of the Eustachian tube (BDET) is a simple, in-office procedure to help improve the function of your Eustachian tube. Doctors gently widen the blocked part of the tube using a thin, flexible balloon catheter at the back of the nasal passage. A numbing gel is applied, so no needles are needed, and the balloon is only inflated for two minutes before its removal. Most patients feel only mild pressure, experience quick results, and can return to normal activities right away.

How Balloon Dilation Works

Eustachian Tube Dilation FAQs

Successful balloon dilation permanently reshapes the inner lining of the Eustachian tube. This is the area nearest to the back of the nasal cavity and the only part that swells shut due to dysfunction. As the tissue heals, the bulky tissue blocking the tube becomes thinner, creating more space inside the tube, improving its ability to equalize pressure throughout the day. The improved function reduces fluid buildup and middle ear infections, letting the eardrum vibrate freely.

Our doctors will first recommend anti-inflammatory treatments such as nasal sprays, steroids, or decongestants to manage your symptoms. If fluid builds up behind the eardrum and doesn’t clear with medication, a myringotomy with tube placement may also be an option. This procedure involves making a tiny incision in the eardrum to drain the fluid and place a small tube to keep the area open, allowing pressure to equalize and prevent future fluid.
