Ilsan Paik Hospital introduces a transfer functional test machine for the first time in the Seoul metropolitan area...Accurate diagnosis of hearing loss, ear disease, otitis media, etc
Mar 15, 2025
Inje University Ilsan Paik Hospital recently introduced 'Eustachian Tube Function Test' for the first time in the metropolitan area.
The test can check in real time whether the function of 'Eustachian Tube', an important organ that controls ear pressure, is opened and closed normally using sound and air.
The ear canal is a thin tube that connects the ear and nose, and it plays a role in controlling air pressure to help prevent clogged ears. If the ear canal is not functioning properly, it can lead to deafening ears, hearing difficulties, or, in severe cases, conditions such as chronic otitis media.
Professor Lee Jeon-mi of the otolaryngology department at Ilsan Paik Hospital said, `If the ear canal function works properly, the symptoms of congestion in the ears are quickly resolved when flying or using the elevator of a high-rise building, but if there is a problem with the function, the earache can continue"Early diagnosis is important because diastolic dysfunction can cause hearing loss, tinnitus, and chronic otitis beyond simple deafness."
In the past, it was difficult to make a clear diagnosis even if there were abnormalities in the transfer function. However, the introduction of this test is expected to provide more convenient and reliable treatment to patients, such as early detection of △ ear disease, △ accurate cause analysis and customized treatment, and △ short test time. Based on this, individual customized treatment plans can be established, increasing the effectiveness of treatment.
In addition, this test is conducted in a non-invasive manner that does not insert into the body, so patients can be tested without any inconvenience.
Lee Seung-jae, professor of otolaryngology at Ilsan Paik Hospital, said "The introduction of this transfer functional tester has made it possible to treat more professional ear diseases."If you have symptoms of frequent deafness or hearing loss for no reason, it is important to get an accurate diagnosis and treat it early to protect your hearing."
