Hey there, where abouts are you based?

Each ballon is 20 times

Is this still a problem

I'm on Day 2 now and I'm having no progress - all i got is more stuffiness and fluid feeling

What helped you can you help me

@@sukhrajsingh2587 I am still having the problem. I have a pain and headache episode every week because of it, and the otovent hasn't popped it yet, but I'm using it once a day. What helps a little and gives me little control is: I put some drops of rubbing alcohol Isopropyl. It works alone sometimes, but if not, I follow it with 3 drops of Canesten ear drops after the alcohol is dried. Olive oil infused with garlic helps also, and it's not smelly as you might imagine. I do massage (search for eustachian tube dysfunction massage on RUclips). It helps, especially with easing the headache, and it helps in the external drainage in the ear channels. Do push with your fingers or knuckles on the area around your ear and do some chewing. Move your jawbone against your fingers and try to move your fingers while doing it towards your throat to move what might be blocking the tubes inside, as this condition is called glue ears. Massaging helps too. What I used to do before (and it solved it 100% but temporarily) was using Ciprobay HC ear drops. It cures it 100% while using it, but when you stop, the condition comes back. What I suggest, along with consulting a doctor, is to try these ear drops for a full course of 7 days, and afterwards use it once or twice a week when you start feeling the pain crawling slowly. You shouldn't use these ear drops all the time, but one pharmacist told me it's fine to use them when necessary after you are done with the main course. I will buy them again because it's the only solution that totally hides or solves the issue. I sleep better when I use them. Now my sleeping is horrible. Exercise and make your blood circulation moving on a regular basis. Valsalva technique helps a little. Do it occasionally during the day. NOTE: In case you found a better permanent solution, please tell me 🙏

I do something similar without the balloon (Hold your nose and blow) after years of issues. It really only worked after I did some stretching and "prep" exercises I found from another person online. I could feel my tubes open and a crackling popping as the air equalized but they would close back up. After continuing with the exercises I effectively stretched the muscles around my neck and head, and my tubes enough that they open more easily now. One of the most important things I have found as well is staying hydrated as it all can kind of gunk up and stick it closed. The last exercise that involves taking several sips of water while holding your nose really helps with this and is the quickest way for me to resolve the issue now.

@@kailahaas6068 thanks dear 🙏💕

Thank you

Very important advice. Thank you!

I wonder why would they miss out this important step. Seems strange to me. It's written in the instructions that come with it. I tried to do it but feel uncomfortable with the swallowing, the air coming back seems to block my ear more. I have now stopped using it. I wonder why they did not mention the swallowing!

@@barbaras5874same thing happened to me. Any updates for your ear?

A trick that helps me a lot is to first keep a bit of water in my mouth ( 1 to 3 gulps/swallowing). Then just follow the instructions. I swallow the water slowly. It pops my ear every time. Without the water I find almost impossible to swallow while holding the damn balloon inflated!

Time apparently

What helped you can you help me

It means you have negative pressure in your inner ear. I get the same after radiotherapy and getting so sick of it.

Yes you’re supposed to do swallow maneuvers and the air goes back

@otovent please answer this question, it's important!

Swallow while allowing the air back in to fill your nasal cavity/mouth from within

Ci sei riuscita? Anche io inizialmente ho avuto un pò di difficoltà. Ho risolto posizionando meglio il palloncino.

Thanks for your question. Generally speaking, it is recommended that Otovent is not used when someone has a cold, is congested or is snotty. Due to the nature of sinusitis, it would also be recommended that Otovent is not used. We'd always suggest speaking to your personal doctor prior to using Otovent. Thanks.

Did you get it sorted?

Did it work?

It did work for some time but he still had to have grommets fixed and this has done the job. I hope this info helps

@@larryokose9452 hey Hows your son now? Does grommets work? Amy side effects? Please reply my daughter is also suffering from glue ear nd dr is suggesting surgery.i m too much worried

@@HBilal-rj6bq Hi, yes the grommets worked as they helped drain the fluid that was previously being held behind the ears. The grommets later fell off on their own as he grew older and he’s a lot better now. However, he still has ear pain at times when he’s got a cold and we get told by the ENT doctors to cover his ears with cotton wool daily while he’s having a bath to avoid water going in and worsening the situation during that period when he has a cold. Once the cold disappears, the ear pain gets resolved quickly. Please note that during the period he has a cold, we usually give paracetamol to manage the pain and this helps. I don’t think you should worry much, your daughter will be fine, just follow the advice given by her ENT doctor. All will be well.

Hi there, there is no other technique involving Otovent. The inflation of the balloon is designed as a visual aid to know the treatment is being completed. However, even the action of attempting to inflate the balloon may help alleviate they symptoms of glue ear. If there is a slightly unusual clicking sensation when using the device, then it is likely that the treatment is being effective.

I tried the first method, and it was effective, stronger, and worked. Then I tried the second method and it worked too, so both are good, but inflating the balloon using the nose is stronger than the other one.

Traduire en francais

In a way but the balloon is a safer method, as the valsalva maneuver can cause permanent damage if you blow too hard and perforate the ear drum.

How did it go?

I also try this otovent coz,I also have an ear infection for 3 yrs.i also go to the doctor.and nothing can happen.i fell sound and also there's a fluid out in my throut.

Hi Alberto, We generally recommend inflating Otovent 3 times per day, or as instructed by your doctor. The balloon has been manufactured to inflate at a specific pressure which is sufficient to open up the eustachian tube, but not to high enough to cause any additional damage. If you have any concerns, we'd definitely recommend consulting your doctor. If you have any more questions, please let us know. Thanks, Otovent

😢Today my first day using this tool , I did all that in both ways for both ears but non opened, the air stays in the balloon and I feel nothing just pressure of the air trying to escape from my nose 👃 why?

@@passingby3060 read the instructions, try again. When you inflate the balloon from your nostril, you must keep the opposite nostril closed and perform repeated swallowing action until the balloon is deflated. This allows your blocked tube to expand slightly and allow blocking mucous to be drawn down. Trust me it does work, you may not get instant results but use it once in the morning & evening does remove blockage. 👍

@@Tony-Tequalla thanks man for the reply I'll keep trying 👍🙏

@@passingby3060 no problem. Around a week after the mucous had drained from my eustachian tube, I was forced to cough as I felt something was stuck in my tonsil. Examining my throat a small black stone was seen emerging from my eustachian tube that had been blocked. I occasionally have to use the Otovent to equalise the pressure in my ear but it is no way near the problem I had before. 👍🏾

@@Tony-Tequalla glad to here it worked for you and there is hope. Both my ears hurt occasionally and feel full sometimes, in the last 2 years I visited 5 doctors all said there is nothing in them no infection in outer or middle or inner ears ... by myself I decided to take antibiotics, I used apple cider vinegar , olive oil and garlic, bought natural ear drops, antibiotics ear drops and put alcohol, took pain killer you name it all were temporary solutions to ease the pain but after I stop the pain comes back... last week I explained the situation to Chatgpt AI and google bard AI, perplexity AI and bing AI all agreed on Eustachian tube dysfunction I searched RUclips for a solution and came across a video on about ear popping and though otovent might help after reading many reviews on amazon and RUclips all about the same problem as mine ... and because no matter how many times I do valsalva maneuver my ears don't open I realised that I must have glue ears.... I can hear clearly but the pain in my ears keeps coming every 3 or 4 days... I hope this help me 🤞🙏

Hi Eric, yes it does I'm afraid. The Otovent balloons have been specifically designed to allow the right amount of pressure for the treatment to be effective. Other balloons would not have the same effect as using the surgical balloons provided in an Otovent pack.

Otovent Glue Ear Treatment (UK) hi otovent ,my son can't blow the balloon with his nose he is 4 years old ,can i blow the balloon and close his mouth and one hole on his nose and the ballon's air put it in his other hole of the nose ??? is it effective

Hi Elvi Hon, unfortunately, the patient will need to complete both the inflation and deflation phases of the treatment for it to be effective. UK clinical trials have shown Otovent to have a 1 in 2 success rate, so it won't necessarily work for everyone, but an effective treatment to try during the active observation period. Thanks!

In a demo I saw, the gp manually stretched and blew up the balloon by mouth to make it easier for the child to use. In the video above, the parent blows up the balloon first for similar reasons. Ithink it might be a good idea to try this.

Hi Mike, yes Otovent is suitable for both adults and children. In fact we find adults have better results when using Otovent, simply because they are more committed to completing the full course of treatment. Please let us know if you have any more questions.

i feel fullness in my ear, seems like there is thicj mucus. My age is 26. Can I use this product? Can this be helpful to an adult like me or is it only for children?

Why ask if anyone has questions if you are not going to answer.. 😪

Same! I tried the other method. The instructions on the package are so confusing.

Thank you David. Much appreciated.

Hi Richard, this is an altered version of the deflation phase which is recommended for patients who do not feel their ears pop or cannot experience any sensation during inflation. Please refer to the attached leaflet for the correct explanation of this phase. Kind regards, The Otovent Team.
