Otovent Glue Ear Treatment by Otovent with 10 Balloons

This very simple balloon works clears your ears and make some pop

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.

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.

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.

Easy to use. Hope it works.

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.

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 don’t usually leave reviews, even though I should since I keep Amazon in business with everything I order. I have a middle ear infection for three weeks now that stemmed from having a sinus infection. I have been miserable all month. Iv gone to the dr 3 times and have been given two different antibiotics and steroids on top of taking otc stuff like decongestant and Flonase. Nothing has helped. This last week it turned into my ear essentially being glued shut and I had so much liquid not draining that my face and jaw on my bad side would swell and everytime I opened my mouth or chewed food it would cause a lot of pain on top of the constant pain of my ear infection. I was miserable and so I saw this on Amazon and decided it was worth a try for 20 some dollars while I wait for my ent appointment next week. The day it arrived I was in the most pain I had been and didn’t talk all day or sleep the night before because my face and my ear was in alot of pain. I did this a couple times and in the middle of the night I realized I could feel some air passing through my ear and then all of sudden I felt in my throat essentially the sound of when u take the plug out of the sink or bathtub. The next morning I felt so much better. I’m on day 3 of using it and the problem isn’t completely gone but it’s 10 times better. I can close my mouth and chew with almost no pain. My ent appointment is tomorrow so I’m hopeful they can help me finally kick this terrible infection. I really believe if I had this product the first week maybe it would have cleared it completely and I would of never gotten to this point of it being so infected and clogged. I reccomend blowing the ballon as big as you can , even if it pops on you. Sometimes I’d drink some water and wait to swallow until I’d blown the ballon to help get an even bigger swallow to help try to pop the balloon. If you are in pain this will help alleviate it! I’m sure if your infection or clogged isn’t as bad as mine this thing would definitely fix the problem for you. I never write reviews or even think to do a long one like this but I had to let people know especially after the miserable month I have had. I had been crying and not sleeping due to 3 weeks of constant pain. 10/10

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.
