[Evaluation of standardized questionnaires for diagnosis and differentiation of obstructive and patulous Eustachian tube dysfunction].

CONCLUSION: The PHI-10 and ETDQ‑7 (German) can be recommended as an additional tool for preoperative assessment of ET dysfunction. However, they insufficiently discriminate between patulous and obstructive ET dysfunction and are not suitable for patients with tinnitus. The strength of the two questionnaires lies in their suitability for use in monitoring therapeutic success during follow-up. PMID: 32885310 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
