either of two passages between the middle ear and the back of the nose that open to allow pressure to be kept equal on both sides of the eardrum(= a thin piece of skin inside the ear that moves backwards and forwards very quickly when sound waves reach it, allowing you to hear sounds):
Sinus swelling can constrict the auditory tube, causing the sensation that there is popping inside the ear.
When enlarged in children, tonsils can block or reduce the size of the auditory tube opening.
Blockage of the auditory tube leads to the loss of pressure in the middle ear.
The tubal tonsils are large, flat tonsils located in the walls of the pharyngeal openings of the auditory tubes.
The auditory tube helps keep the middle ear healthy by clearing secretions and equalizing pressure.
