Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluation of the results of a Phototubometry System for the external and middle ear diseases (e.g. patulous Eustachian tube, otitis media with effusion, adhesive otitis media, cholesteatoma, external auditory canal stenosis, tympanosclerosis, otosclerosis, perilymph fistula, cholesterin granuloma, etc.). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Safety including adverse events and Side Effects through examination. During the Sonotubometry and Phototubometry, Changes in the Eustachian tube function are examined while adding external factors (e.g. rest position, swallowing, breath-holding, vowel production,). Relevance between the sence of resistance at the Eustachian tube and the results of Sonotubometry and Phototubometry, | — |
