Abstract: Objective:To explore the feasibility and validity of tubo-tymanoaerodynamic graphy(TTAG)determinating the Eustachian tube function of health adult group.Mthod:The ventilation function of Eustachian tube was measured by the TTAG method in health adlut group(132 ears),the results and the graphs were also analyzed.Reslut:The positive rate in health adult group using Valsalva method was 93.93%(124/132).The positive ears were divided into typeⅠand typeⅡ, the mean value of nasopharynx press of type Ⅰand Ⅱ has no significant differences(P>0.05),but the mean value of external auditory canal press had significant differences(P<0.01).Conclusion:TTAG meathod has the clinical value in determinating the states of Eustachian tube function of health group.
