Glue Ear Treatment by Otovent with 10 Balloons

My ENT doctor recommended this, and I’m glad I tried it. I deal with ear issues connected to allergies, and this really does bring me relief. It’s easy to use once you get the hang of it, and the noise level is minimal. I also feel like it offers good value for money compared to other options I’ve tried. Overall, it’s effective and has made a difference for me. Easy to use, easy to clean.

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!

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.

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 having issue with eustachian tube in my left ear for about a year now. I could pop it, but it wasn't feeling better. I've always had sinus issues, so decided to give this a try. It's just balloons and a plastic part, but it did work. It's a pre-packaged thing you could probably do with just using a balloon from the dollar store. But hell, it did help and my ear finally feels better.

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).

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 !

Works people. I did not believe it but my ear was so clogged I gave it a try. Worked exactly as it said. I used it two days I a row twice a day. Ear unclogged
