Otovent Glue Ear Treatment by Otovent with 10 Balloons

It worked! Easy to use. So grateful this exists. My son finally passed his hearing test after using this daily

I had strong sinus pressure, and my hearing was seriously impaired due to fluid in my eustachian tubes following surgery. Three ENTs suggested puncturing my eardrum and inserting a tube to allow the fluid to drain, or get a balloon sinuplasty. One of them suggested a hearing aid as another option. I was going to opt for the balloon, but I saw this product demonstrated by an ENT on YouTube, so I gave it a try. You press the nose piece against one nostril to form an air tight seal, while pressing the other nostril closed as you blow up the balloon through your nostril. The same air pressure that inflates the ballon, forces the eustachian tube to widen with equal force, which allows the fluid to drain. It worked on the first try. Very much pleased with the results.

I bought this hoping to help popping my left ear that has been glued for two months. I have been doing Valsalva maneuver to pop my left ear with full force that caused my good ear hurts. I pushed so hard to the point that air passing through my good ear. Not good. Two weeks ago, I tried combination of Allegra, Mucinex, Sudafed (all generic) for a few days but my Eustachian tube didn't open. I stopped those OTC medications and switched to anti-inflammatory supplements with Flonase (generic Fluticasone Propionate Nasal Spray), Then, I found a web site telling why Flonase doesn't work for Eustachian tube dysfunction. It says Flonase should aim for the opening of the Eustachian tube. I tiled my head little bit to the left and faced down so that the top of the nozzle lines up to the target (left ET opening). To my surprise, just after few applications, I was able to pop my left ear with Otovent. The balloon gets too loose if I blow the balloon too big, so I keep it rather small. I needed almost the highest pressure Otovent produced so a new balloon worked the best. Otovent should be able to train me how hard I can push while staying in safe pressure region. One method I tired and worked good was push-pull. Meaning I inflate the balloon, then deflate creates vacuum by breathing in, creating positive and negative pressure, repeated quickly. I deducted one star is for the cost. The balloon's life is too short. Summary: Otovent didn't work for the for the first two months but eventually worked.

PA recommend I try this for ETD. First round, I used as directed but after about a week after each use I got a pressure headache, dizziness to the point I thought it had exacerbated BPPV and hard to concentrate on anything. So I had to quit using it. It did slightly relieve congestion but the side effects were too much. That being said, I found a DC on YouTube and his exercises worked!!!! The second time I attempted to use the otovent after ETD returned the same side effects returned so I'm going to try PT I found before. Update.....I'm trying this again and it is working. Just have to push through and keep it up. I'm not sure what is different or if just a timing thing.

I consider this product to be miraculous. I have had totally blocked ears for more than three months and it was driving me insane. I was faced with either balloon dilation of my eustachian tubes or ear tubes again which I was very reluctant to do because the last time I had ear tubes it took them five years to heal up. I tried all kinds of eustachian tube-opening exercises with herbal oils and massage, and they did not help me at all. My ears became increasingly congested until I finally found this product. It took several weeks to unblock my ears, but after each use, I could feel a little bit of moisture in my nasal passages. It took a while to learn to use, and I did use it faithfully at least three or four times a day initially. I was able to back off after the first two weeks to fewer times. I did not experience relief for the first few days, but I did notice that my hearing was improving so that gave me incentive to continue. If you’re really having trouble with your station to blockage I encourage you to try this product. It’s inexpensive , and it works !

Can someone please help me. I had fluid behind the ear seven plus weeks ago and am still suffering from eustachian tube dysfunction in my right ear, having slight pressure and muffling. It has caused me daily anxiety, depression and worry about when it will resolve. I have already had steroid treatment, and used various recommended medications, but it still hangs on. I have also bought a Eustachi and used it a number of times, but it seems to only be opening the tube in my good ear. When using on the good ear right after swallowing, the sound of the fan in the Eustachi becomes suddenly very loud and you feel the air moving through. On the affected ear it does not seem to do that. So I think it's not popping open the tube in my right ear. It scares me somewhat to use the Otovent. I could not blow up the balloon with my nose on the first few tries. There was so much pressure inside my sinuses trying to do it. I am worried about the amount of pressure it will force into my ear. Can anyone please give me some advice or feedback? I know this is not an actual review, but if I can use this product successfully, I will come back and do another review.

I was really skeptical about this product. I have eustachian tube dysfunction. My ears pop all the time. If I get any sort of sinus thing, it almost always affects my ears. I have had colds turn to partial deafness for over a month. Once I lost my hearing for almost 3 months. I've had tubes put in, then taken out, I've had nose surgery too, and I see an ENT regularly. There's pretty much nothing they can do to stop my hearing problems. This is just the hand I was dealt. I bought this out of desperation after losing my hearing again earlier this year from a cold. The reviews were all over the place. I received it and I agree that it's a relatively inexpensive thing; you get literally a bunch of branded balloons and a plastic blower. So yeah, it probably only costs a few dollars to make and it's crazy to pay $20+ for it. But if you can't hear and you're desperate, well I can tell you it works! You cover one nostril and blow and oh my goodness, the relief is immediate. I have used this dozens of times. I never travel without it. While sometimes it does take several attempts to pop my ear, it will pop it. I know it's weird and again, it's expensive for what you're getting, but the fact that it somehow is able to release the pressure is worth it to me. I've used it while sick and just for times that somehow my ear has popped and I can't hear right. So much better than praying to yawn or hoping meds work, this is something you can actively do and it works quickly. Highly recommend!

Must have if you suffer from stuffy ears! This has helped me so much with head congestion. At first, I used it a few times a day as needed or when my ears are really bad. Absolutely use these Everytime I fly! I even use it in the plane when the ear pressure is almost unbearable. Big help!

Buen producto y ae puese usar con globos normales

My Doctor recommended it for a plugged ear tube. Wow! I am very impressed how well it works and its safe for children as well. Perfect if you travel a lot on airplanes too. It made a huge difference, improved my hearing right away and even decreased my ringing ears. It is very easy to use. I would highly recommend it.

Muito bom este produto. Gostei bastante.

This is a great product for glue ear. And entertaining for the kids
