Otovent Glue Ear Treatment by Otovent with 10 Balloons

Phenomenal product. I've been using it for years. Nothing else comes close in terms of efficacy or cost. For those that can't figure out how to use it properly, most likely, you can't figure out how to use the toilet properly either.

This works exactly as described. The balloon assists with “popping” the eardrum so it will get rid of the muffled sound in your ear. This helped me to hear better. My doctor said I had eustachian tube dysfunction and this helped to correct that by equalizing the pressure. It creates that same sensation as when your ears pop when flying.

If I could rate this as minus zero I would. What a useless, over-priced, over-touted , little contraption this is! The accompanying leaflet states that the balloon should be inflated to the size of a grapefruit by exhaling through one nostril. In order to do this you would need to have the lungs of an elephant. Attempting to do it, over and over again, and only inflating it to the size of a walnut, is to risk a serious injury and dangerous eye pressure. Kicking myself for believing the reviews and wasting $17. Just do the Valsalva movement, keeping chewing forcefully and use a saline nasal spray.

Since this is a healthcare item, I was concerned when the package arrived that the box that the item came in was not sealed, in fact, it was ripped as if someone else had purchased it, and it was returned. Inside the box there was no internal packing material such as a plastic case, Which I think they’re probably should have been. The item itself works great.

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.

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 !

I couldn’t blow the balloon with just the air from my nose, so I used my mouth on the plastic piece to blow up the balloon a bit, pinched the balloon closed, up to the nostril, and continued on per instructions. I did it a few times a day for several days. It worked and my ears are clear again. No ear tubes for me! Box was beat up but materials were fine. And definitely read the instructions first so you put the balloon on the correct end of the plastic part (unlike me :D).

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.

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

It definitely looks strange but it WORKS!! My kids have a hard time with their ears when flying and frequently end up in tears because their ears won’t ‘pop’. This product is a game changer!!!! Our last two flights they used this and they were able to ‘pop’ their ears easily! 10 out of 10 recommended!!

Por orden médica, me receto este tratamiento y en amazon fue super sencillo comprarlo, muy buen precio a comparación de la investigación que hice.
