| 发明名称 | Silent effusion removal | ||
| 摘要 | A method is disclosed for clearing effusion from an ear. The method may include applying liquid to an ear canal, which is proximal to a perforated tympanic membrane, which is proximal to a middle ear containing effusion, applying an ear device to seal and pressurize the liquid inside the ear canal, the ear device regulating the amount of pressure inside the ear canal, and inducing a Eustachian tube, which is distal to the middle ear, to open, which causes the fluid to displace the effusion into the Eustachian tube. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method for clearing effusion from an ear, the method comprising: (a) applying liquid to an ear canal, which is proximal to a perforated tympanic membrane, the perforated tympanic membrane being proximal to a middle ear containing effusion; (b) applying an ear device to seal and pressurize the liquid inside the ear canal; (c) pressurizing the liquid inside the ear canal, the ear device regulating the amount of pressure inside the ear canal; and (d) inducing a Eustachian tube, which is distal to the middle ear, to open, which causes the pressurized liquid to displace the effusion into the Eustachian tube such that the effusion flows from the middle ear into the Eustachian tube under the influence of at least the pressurized liquid. | ||
