Home Made Pneumatic Otoscopy [PDF]
The presence of eustachian tube dysfunction may lead to the accumulation of sterile fluid behind the tympanic membrane. The fluid may get infected in the presence of persistent negative middle ear pressure. Decreased mobility of the tympanic membrane may signify the presence of otitis media with effusion (OME).
