Study Summary

We hypothesize that intranasal steroid application will have a beneficial therapeutic effect in adults with regard to resolution of serous otitis media and/or negative middle ear pressure, as compared to placebo. We further hypothesize that the rate of spontaneous short-term resolution of otitis media wit effusion in adults treated with placebo will be relatively low (minority of patients).

Primary Outcome

Number of subjects with resolution of eustachian tube dysfunction symptoms, as determined by the change in tympanogram type in both ears from an initial Type B or C result to Type A result at 6 weeks. Type A; peaked pressure measurement under -100 kilo Pascals (kPa). Type B; non-peaked, or flat tympanogram, Type C; peaked pressure measurements more negative than -100 kPa. A Pascal is a unit used to quantify internal pressure.
