Tympanograms were done on 120 patients with adenoid hyperplasia, chronic sinusitis and chronic tonsillitis to measure the middle-ear pressure as a parameter to eustachian tube function. The results were compared with those obtained in 50 normal subjects. The statistical significance of the mean values of middle-ear pressure is very highly significant in patients with adenoid hyperplasia, significant in chronic sinusitis group and insignificant in patients with chronic tonsillitis, as compared to the normal control group. Hence, eustachian tube dysfunction is maximum in patients with obstructing adenoids, less in chronic sinusitis and least in chronic tonsillitis.
对120例腺样体增生、慢性鼻窦炎和慢性扁桃体炎患者进行了鼓室导抗图检查，以测量中耳压力作为咽鼓管功能的一个参数。将结果与50名正常受试者的结果进行比较。与正常对照组相比，腺样体增生患者中耳压力平均值的统计学显著性非常高，慢性鼻窦炎组显著，慢性扁桃体炎患者不显著。因此，咽鼓管功能障碍在腺样体阻塞患者中最为严重，在慢性鼻窦炎患者中较轻，在慢性扁桃体炎患者中最轻。
