A Word From The Founder and Developer of PatulEND®
Dr. Joseph DiBartolomeo M.D.
As Clinical Professor in the Department of Head and Neck Surgery at UCLA, may I share some exciting news about our development of a safe treatment for the Patulous Eustachian Tube (PET). When I became a Patulous Eustachian Tube patient myself, I decided to find a safe treatment and applied for an Investigational New Drug (IND) Clinical Trials study. By referrals from NIH and NORD, and voluntary support groups on the International Social Media Medical Forums, we have identified previously undiagnosed PET patients. Many have used PatulEND® with excellent results, with over 100,000+ bottles shipped throughout the world. I'd like to share the results and unsolicited testimonials from some of the patients. We receive inquiries every day, from all over the world. People hear about us in many ways: doctor referrals, the Internet, chat rooms/support groups, friends or family members.
During my career in the field of Otology, I began to suffer from the symptoms of autophony, amphoria, and crackling of the ears. The cause was discovered to be an anomalously open or "patulous" Eustachian tube. Like so many others, I was also told there was no treatment, and I would "have to learn to live with it." Finding no satisfactory treatment, I undertook the task of researching the cause with the goal of finding an effective and safe remedy. After compiling and comparing similar symptoms and conditions, a solution was formulated. I directed an initial 10-year FDA study on over 200 participants using nose drops developed to treat the symptoms of (PET). The information and results enabled us to refine the original formula, US Patent protected, with the proprietary formula, PatulEND®. It is now a drug-free product, available without a prescription. It is safer and more effective than the original pharmaceutical form. The ingredients were replaced with nutrient, vitamin metabolites, and antioxidants, which are referenced in the Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) publication of the FDA.
The Eustachian Tubes
The Eustachian tubes connect the middle ear to the sinus cavity and normally stay closed, opening when you swallow or yawn. This balances pressure on both sides of your eardrum and helps drain mucous. There is no single test to accurately evaluate Eustachian tube function, so diagnosis is based on a combination of medical history, physical examination, and Eustachian tube function tests. While PET is not a serious medical condition, it can affect a person's quality of life. PET is a condition where the Eustachian tube remains open instead of closing or closed instead of open. This allows sounds from the nasal cavity to travel directly to the ears, causing a number of symptoms including:
- Autophony: Hearing your own voice, breathing, or heartbeat abnormally loud
- Ear Fullness: A feeling of fullness in the ear
- Hyperacusis: Hearing sounds as abnormally loud
- Tympanophonia: Hearing your own breathing sounds, heart sounds, or sounds emanating from the upper body
Patulous Eustachian Tube
Closed
A closed eustachian tube protects the middle ear from unwanted sounds and pressure changes. Some possible causes include: Sudden weight loss, dehydration, pregnancy, hormonal therapy, caffeine consumption, and radiation therapy. There is no standard treatment for PET, but some methods that may help include: changing posture, using nasal sprays, lying down or putting your head between your knees, staying hydrated, and minimizing caffeine. In some cases, surgery can be effective.
Patulous Eustachian Tube
Open
A PET, on the other hand, is a rare condition where the eustachian tube remains open, causing a variety of symptoms. This allows sounds from the nasal cavity to travel directly to the ears, causing a number of symptoms, including: Some possible causes of PET dysfunction include: Sudden weight loss, dehydration, pregnancy, hormonal therapy, caffeine consumption, and radiation therapy.
Trusted Effective Relief
PatulEND® is the only FDA -NIH Orphan product granted Exclusivity (1994) for the relief of Patulous Eustachian tube (PET) anomaly symptoms. Today, the very disturbing obscure symptoms of aural fullness (a plugged ear) and Autophony are recognized as DiBartolomeo's Syndrome.
The pathognomonic symptom of autophony is directly related to a structural Patulous Eustachian tube (PET) anomaly. The resulting elusive tubal turbulence makes it challenging for even the most astute clinician to recognize PET symptoms. Our Clinical Trials were approved by FDA-NORD as Orphan product # 96988, PatulEND®. PatulEND® has been awarded separate US and Canadian patents. Global distribution is proprietary being available only from our office in Santa Barbara.
The improved, drug-free topical Vitamin Nutrient does not contain any drugs or hormones, herbal derivatives, alcohol, sugar, wheat, yeast, preservatives, artificial additives or coloring. The formulation consists of water-soluble, essential synergy of the vitamin C complex of nutrients, and activated antioxidant properties for increased bio-availability to mucous membranes through balanced electrolytes for maximal absorption and tissue healing. This results in better improved healing and tissue strength.
If you have an established diagnosis of PET or believe that you may have PET symptoms, you may be interested in PatulEND®. Signs that you may be affected include:
* If you hear your own breathing (autophony) by the ear, it may be PET.
* If your symptoms disappear when you lie down, it is most likely, at least, PET.
PatulEND® is a topical nasal solution that is a drug-free proprietary nutrient composition with optimized antioxidant properties formulated to hydrate the tissues and stimulate closure of the Eustachian tube lumen to interrupt the adventitious transmission of our breath sounds. Results may take longer if the tissues have received radiation or been treated surgically.
Nourishing Relief for Patulous Eustachian Tube Harmony
That disconcerting fullness and the constant self-generated sounds in your middle ear may be indicative of a chronic condition known as Patulous Eustachian Tube (PET). This anomaly occurs when the Eustachian tube, usually sealed, irregularly opens and closes, causing patients to experience the distressing sensation of hearing their own breathing and other self-generated noises.
