Eustachian tube balloon dilation
Balloon dilation for Eustachian tube dysfunction.
Key point
BDET may improve functional and audiological outcomes in pediatric ETD, but comparative evidence does not confirm superiority over standard management.

Cochlear implantation, including in older adults and single-sided deafness.
Key point: Cochlear implant indications now include profound unilateral or bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, unilateral deafness, or residual hearing, determined individually for each ear.
Smell loss
Olfactory dysfunction, including after viral infection.

How these numbers are counted
PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:
"eustachian tube"[tiab] AND balloon[tiab]Trials: ClinicalTrials.gov studies first submitted in each 12-month window that match the same terms. A query can miss synonyms or catch unrelated papers, so treat counts as approximate.
