<p id="P1">Sonotubometry is a simple test for Eustachian tube opening during a maneuver. Different sonotubometry configurations were suggested to maximize test accuracy, but no method has been described for comparing sonotubometry test results with those for a definitive measure of Eustachian tube opening. Here, we present such a method and exemplify is use by an accuracy assessment of a simple sonotubometry configuration.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="S2"><title>Methods</title>
<p id="P2">A total of 502 data-sequences from 168 test sessions in 103 adult subjects were analyzed. For each session, subjects were seated in a pressure chamber and relative middle ear over- and under-pressures created by changing chamber pressure. At each pressure, the test sequence of bilateral tympanometry, bilateral sonotubometry while the subject swallowed twice, and bilateral tympanometry was done. Tympanometric data were expressed as the fractional gradient equilibrated (FGE) by swallowing and sonotubometric signals were analyzed to record the shape of detected sound-signals. Tympanometric and sonotubometric tubal opening assignments were analyzed by cross-correlation.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="S3"><title>Results</title>
<p id="P3">For the data-sequences with FGE=0 (n=32) evidencing no tubal opening and 1 (n=249) evidencing definitive tubal opening, detection of a sonotubometry sound-signal during a swallow had a sensitivity and specificity of 74.2% and 65.6% for identifying ET openings and an accuracy of 73.3% for assigning ET opening/non-opening by swallowing. Measures of sound-signal shape were significantly different between those groups.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="S4"><title>Conclusions</title>
<p id="P4">This protocol allows a sonotubometry accuracy assessment for detecting Eustachian tube openings. For the test configuration used, accuracy was moderate, but this should improve as more sophisticated sonotubometry test configurations are evaluated.</p>
