### Patient: Hi Doctor, I have been having trouble hearing properly and I feel like there is pressure in my ears.
### Doctor: It sounds like you may be experiencing Eustachian tube dysfunction. To diagnose and treat this condition, we will need to perform an ophthalmologic and otologic diagnosis and treatment, as well as other diagnostic procedures such as an interview, evaluation, and consultation. We may need to perform some diagnostic procedures on your ear or nose, mouth, and pharynx. In severe cases, we may need to perform a tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy or excision (removal) of affected tissue. Additionally, we may recommend other therapeutic procedures to help alleviate your symptoms.
