Closed Captioning and Described Video is available for many CBC shows offered on CBC Gem.So just what is it and why does it occur Social Sharing In Patulous eustachian tube, the channel that runs between middle ear and back of nose and throat stays open The Canadian Press Posted: Mar 23, 2018 11:30 AM ET Last Updated: March 23, 2018 Cline Dion, seen in New York in 2017, is cancelling shows because of a hearing condition.Carlo AllegriReuters) The hearing condition that has caused Quebec pop star Cline Dion to cancel some upcoming Las Vegas shows is known as Patulous eustachian tube.Normally, these eustachian tubes remain closed and open only occasionally to regulate air pressure around the ear drum.
A valve near the opening into the middle ear controls this process. Sneezing, swallowing or yawning causes the valve to open, which keeps air pressure and fluid from building up inside the ears. Descending in an aircraft can also affect the function of the valves and eustachian tubes, leading to a pressure build-up that muffles hearing and sometimes causes pain. With my patients, I tell them there is no easy fix for this. Dr. Vincent Lin Dr. Vincent Lin, a surgical otologist at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto, said the exact cause of Patulous eustachian tube is unknown. We know that theres a little bit of fat around the valve and people who, for example, lose a massive amount of weight will also lose fat, he said Thursday. And that fat pad, if you lose a lot of weight, it can almost pull open the valve and it becomes almost floppy. SHOWS CANCELLED We regret to inform you that the performances of Cline at ColosseumatCP scheduled from March 27th through April 18th have been cancelled. Details here: - TC mdash; celinedion Dion is a pretty thin lady, Lin said. She is the kind of typical person who has these kind of symptoms. Other risk factors for Patulous eustachian tube include pregnancy, fatigue, stress, exercise and temporomandibular joint syndrome in the jaw. Some cases have been linked to medications such as oral contraceptives or diuretics (water pills) that increase urine secretion. Stroke, multiple sclerosis and motor neuron disease also have been implicated. Ways to alleviate symptoms Lin said there is no standard treatment for the disorder, but some people are able to temporarily alleviate symptoms with positional manoeuvres, such as lying down or lowering their head between their knees. But obviously you cant walk around all day with your head down. Patients may also be advised to avoid diuretics and to increase body weight. Certain nasal medications may help to reduce symptoms in some patients, while surgical treatment may be recommended for others. One of those surgical options involves injecting fat around the eustachian tube to bulk it up a little bit to try to make the valve behave as it should, said Lin. But its a short-term solution most of the time because the fat is resorbed. Some people take the extreme step of scarring the valve so it closes, but that can cause fluid to build up or the ear drum to get sucked in, he said. With my patients, I tell them there is no easy fix for this these patients are very, very challenging because the number one thing is to manage their expectations so they know that what were going to try may only be temporary or may not work at all.
