- Tympanic membrane - Adenoid hypertrophy
Hypertrophy or inflammation of the adenoids is common among children. Symptoms include nasal obstruction, sleep disturbances, and middle ear effusions with hearing loss.
Often otoscopy will show retraction of the tympanic membrane or middle ear effusion resulting from chronic impairment of eustachian tube ventilation, with negative pressure in the middle ear.
