First post, I looked around and didn't see anything on this topic. My ENT put a tube in my left ear to relieve the otitis media, which it did. They tend to fall out after a year or so, so I'm expecting I am on the end of this particular tubes lifespan (1 yr and 3 months) my other ear has begun acting up more frequently, but is not as bad the left one was.

Rather than get tubes in both, I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with Eustachian tube therapy via balloon dilation? Or is is it contraindicated for Wegener's patients? Here is an RCT on its use and efficacy compared to medical treatment. Would be great to avoid holes and tubes in the ears if possibl.
