OtoventAdult Autoinflation Device - Treatment for Glue Ear Or Otitis Media with Effusion

Hated using these. Quite easy to blow up, once you read the instructions. Takes a bit of effort to try and swallow whilst balloon deflates so good job there are loads of them! Good value for money but glad I only had to use for a weeks.

This actually works and I’m surprised. Very easy to use and what a bargain

After using this for about a day my right ear has been completely fixed and I can hear much better. Although I did also do a combination of exercises to also drain out the Eustachian tube so that may also have a role. I didn't get an instant pop in my ears when using this but I did slowly feel the effects of it and eventually fully restored my hearing. Reading other reviews though, this may not work for everyone so the experience can vary but it did work fine for me.

After waiting 15 months for my ENT appointment to come through, having suffered sudden hearing loss in both ears, I discovered Otovent. I could see that it would provide the correct amount of pressure in the ears (much better than the random pressure from holding your nose and blowing) and would allow strong swallowing actions without having to maintain that pressure yourself.After using it 3 times a day for 7 days, in accordance with the instructions, I could feel a real benefit and the pressure in my ears began to loosen up, and my hearing improved slightly. I then went on to using it twice a day (again, as per instructions) and the improvements continued until my hearing was pretty much back to normal. It would never return completely to normal as I'd been told there was some permanent damage in one ear.I also know people who tried it without success. So my advice would be to try it if you think you have fluid trapped in your ear, or there is undue pressure in the ear. It doesn't cost much, it is unlikely that it would do any harm as long as the instructions are followed, and if it works then it would be well worth it. If it doesn't work then it is not an expensive item and so is still worth trying.

Rather disappointing after reading about this in a national newspaper. My husband tried after following the instructions but could not get the balloon to inflate. He may try again.

Need for my ear. Really helped

I purchased two boxes of the Otovent Adult Autoinflation Device hoping to find relief for what I suspected was glue ear or otitis media with effusion. The concept seemed promising, offering a non-invasive way to potentially alleviate pressure and symptoms.I followed the instructions diligently, using the device as recommended over an extended period. Unfortunately, after consistent use of both boxes, I personally experienced no discernible effect or improvement in my condition. My symptoms remained unchanged, and I didn't feel any of the pressure equalisation or relief that others have reported.While it didn't work for me, it's important to note that medical devices can have varying results depending on the individual and the specific nature of their condition. Given the positive reviews from some users, it's possible that this device might be beneficial for others with different circumstances or degrees of their ear issues. However, based purely on my own experience, I cannot recommend it as an effective treatment for my situation. If you're considering it, perhaps consult with a healthcare professional to see if it's suitable for your specific needs.

This product worked wonders for me and I would 100% recommend. I caught a flight home whilst I was slightly congested and my ears became fully blocked. I had suffered with blocked ears for a week and visited the Doctor Who prescribed me antibiotics however these did not help and I was becoming very restless and anxious in trying to find a way to rectify this I was upset and frustrated as I couldn’t hear a thing and thought this was something I would have to live with. I bought this product as I had nothing else to lose. I was sure it wouldn’t work. However after the first go my ears popped and I was able to hear again I was so relieved anyone who is suffering from middle ear or fluid past the eardrum I would definitely recommend this product. My ears aren’t 100% but they’ve gone from 15% to now 85%. The package tells you to use this product for three weeks which I will continue to do so and will bring it with me when I go on any future travels. Highly recommend.
