    Neurotologist Bryan Ward specializes in treating disorders of the ear and skull base, such as chronic ear disease, obstructive and patulous eustachian tube dysfunction, and conditions that cause dizziness, such as superior canal dehiscence syndrome, Meniere’s disease and bilateral vestibulopathy. Dr. Ward earned his medical degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. He completed residency training in otolaryngology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, followed by fellowship training in eustachian tube disorders at Boston Children’s Hospital. He returned to Johns Hopkins for additional fellowship training in otology and neurotology. He has research interests in vestibular physiology and pathophysiology, with a particular focus on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and interactions between strong magnetic fields and the inner ear. The magnetic fields of MRI machines can induce a force in the inner ear that may cause dizziness and vertigo. This is a fundamentally new way of stimulating the vestibular system, and he is studying how the brain adapts to this stimulus. Dr. Ward is interested in understanding novel disorders of the inner ear vestibular system by developing improved MRI and via temporal bone histopathology. His clinical research interests include eustachian tube disorders, the pathophysiology of inner ear disorders such as superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome, Meniere’s disease and bilateral vestibulopathy, as well as novel treatments, including the development of a vestibular implant (led by Charles Della Santina). Dr. Ward is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Patulous Eustachian Tube. His top areas of expertise are Patulous Eustachian Tube, Acoustic Neuroma, Schwannoma, and Mondini Dysplasia.

    What is the definition of Patulous Eustachian Tube?

    Patulous Eustachian Tube is a benign but symptomatically troubling condition in which the eustachian tube stays open most of the time. The eustachian tube is the tube that runs between the middle ear and throat and regulates the ear pressure around the ear drum. Under normal circumstances, it remains closed most of the time, opening only on occasion to equalize air pressure between the middle ear and the exterior environment. Major symptoms include distorted autophony (hearing one's own voice or breathing), echoing which may interfere with speech production, wave-like sounds, and a sensation of fullness in the ear. In severe cases, vertigo and hearing loss may occur. Over time, individuals with Patulous Eustachian Tube may develop serious and even extreme responses to the abnormal sounds and other findings. In most cases, the cause of Patulous Eustachian Tube is unknown. Weight loss and pregnancy may be predisposing factors. Neurologic disorders that cause muscle atrophy such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, and motor neuron disease have been implicated in some cases of Patulous Eustachian Tube. Other cases may be associated with medications such as oral contraceptives or diuretics. Other predisposing factors include fatigue, stress, anxiety, exercise, and temporomandibular joint syndrome.

    When should I see a Patulous Eustachian Tube doctor in Maryland, US?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Patulous Eustachian Tube doctor in Maryland, US?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Patulous Eustachian Tube doctors in Maryland, US?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Patulous Eustachian Tube doctors in Maryland, US?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Patulous Eustachian Tube doctor in Maryland, US?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Patulous Eustachian Tube doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Patulous Eustachian Tube doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Patulous Eustachian Tube doctor in Maryland, US?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Patulous Eustachian Tube doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Patulous Eustachian Tube doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Patulous Eustachian Tube doctors in Maryland, US?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Patulous Eustachian Tube doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Patulous Eustachian Tube doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Patulous Eustachian Tube doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
