## Description

Product Description OTOVENT AUTOINFLATION DEVICE The Otovent autoinflation device is a clinically proven, safe and natural treatment to relieve the symptoms of glue ear. Otovent is suitable for both adults and children. What is Otovent? The Otovent autoinflation device is a clinically proven*, safe and natural treatment to relieve the symptoms of glue ear. Otovent is suitable for both adults and children. It uses a specially pressurised balloon to open the eustachian tube. For those suffering with glue ear this allows the sticky fluid associated with the condition to safely drain away. Glue Ear in Children Affecting 80% of children at least once before their 10th birthday, Otitis Media with Effusion or Glue Ear dulls hearing meaning children's’ school work and social life can suffer. Glue Ear in Adults It's estimated that ⅓ of all people suffering from Glue Ear are sixteen years of age or above. Otovent is also suitable as a Glue Ear treatment for people suffering with Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. Otovent is an autoinflation device designed to help relieve negative air pressure in the middle ear, manage Eustachian Tube Dysfunction and glue ear. It can also be used to treat ear discomfort during flight, and by scuba divers as a training aid for equalising. The benefits of using Otovent include Reduces the symptoms of glue ear by opening the eustachian tubes allowing the fluid associated with glue ear to safely drain from the middle ear. Improves patient’s quality of life. Helps prevent hearing impairment and communication difficulties caused by glue ear. Natural, non-surgical treatment which helps to treat the symptoms of glue ear and Eustachian tube dysfunction. The Otovent autoinflation device is the only clinically effective, drug-free and non-surgical treatment for glue ear or Otitis Media with Effusion. Otovent is an autoinflation device designed to open the eustachian tube allowing the fluid associated with glue ear to safely drain away. The Otovent device can also be used to treat ear discomfort during flight and by Scuba Divers as a visual aid to equalising. Otovent can be used to equalise a negative middle ear pressure. This condition is caused by Eustachian tube dysfunction and may follow after an upper respiratory tract infection, an episode of acute otitis media or during a flight. If not resolved, Eustachian tube dysfunction can lead to secretory otitis media (also known as otitis media with effusion or glue ear). If left untreated, this condition may lead to a sensation of heaviness and impaired hearing. Otovent Autoinflation Device Treatment For Glue Ear Or Otitis Media with Effusion Otovent Pack contents 1 x Nose Piece 5 x Otovent balloons Otovent For Air Travel For a lot of people, flying can cause ear pain, discomfort and muffled hearing. This is because rapid changes in altitude negatively affect the air pressure in your middle ears, drawing the ear drum in and causing it to bulge. How To Avoid Ear Pain When Flying Otovent is an auto-inflation device which helps equalise the pressure in your middle ear during a flight. Simply use the Otovent device to inflate the specially pressurised Otovent balloons with your nose. This in turn opens the eustachian tubes which connect your middle ears to your nose, equalising the pressure and alleviating the pain. Otovent For Equalising Equalising is one of the most vital yet difficult aspects of scuba diving for a new diver to learn. The Otovent autoinflation device provides a useful visual aid when instructing learners or trying to master the process yourself. The balloons included in the kit are specially pressurised to open the eustachian tube when inflated via the nose. This process allows the negative pressure within the middle ear to equalise, relieving the strain on the ear drum. The Otovent Range The Otovent autoinflation device is the only clinically effective, drug-free and non-surgical treatment for glue ear or Otitis Media with Effusion. It also equalises pressure in the middle ear for use during a flight or as a visual aid to equalising, an essential Scuba Diving technique. Pack includes: 1x Nose Piece and 5x Otovent Balloons. Otovent Adult Autoinflation Device The Otovent autoinflation device is the only clinically effective, drug-free and non-surgical treatment for glue ear or Otitis Media with Effusion. Using the same autoinflation technology as our original Otovent device, the Otovent Adult pack contains 10 balloons. Pack includes: 1x Nose Piece and 10x Otovent Balloons. Otovent Replacement Balloons 5x specially pressurised balloons for use with the Otovent Autoinflation Device. Nose piece not included.

Review: Alternative to grommets - My wife and I cannot recommend this product highly enough. I realise this is a rambling review but I suspect many a parent will be in this position, so I thought it ok to post the long version in order to identify with our situation. Our normally well behaved six year old son started misbehaving in class at School. This got steadily worse, so much so that we even checked his hairline at the back of his neck for treble sixes. Luckily we didn't find any. We booked a hearing test for him and the results showed that he had only forty per cent hearing capacity. The right ear was full of fluid and the left one was almost the same. Coupled with this, he had an accumulation of wax in both ears. Both of these ailments, according to the specialist, was very likely the cause of his behavioural change. We came away from the clinic with a prescription for antibiotics to clear the fluid and some Bicarbonate drops to soften the wax. Some weeks later when both had been finished we noticed a slight improvement with his hearing but his behaviour quickly returned to pre medication stage. So much so that my wife was regularly asked to `Step into the office' of either the Teacher or Head Teacher when picking him after School. Our normally well behaved son was constantly on the report card, being told off or sent out of class during lessons. A few days later we took him back to the Doctors and he prescribed more antibiotics and drops. My wife asked if there was anything else we could try as she was reluctant to pump a six year old full of drugs. She was offered micro suction for him on both ears which she readily accepted and an appointment was given. At the clinic the following week, every other child merrily went in and out of the surgery room and had suction. Our son went in and endured it for about two minutes and then burst into tears, exclaiming it was hurting inside his head. My wife tried to coax him into having it completed in order to improve his hearing but he just ended up sobbing his little heart out. The consultant was extremely considerate and said that one in ten children reacted this way and that an option was to repeat the op but with him under sedation. She got an appointment and four weeks later he was sedated and both ears properly drained of fluid. The change in our son was amazing, no longer on the report cards, always smiling and happy, never once in trouble at School. Even the Teacher constantly remarked about how his behaviour had changed almost overnight for the better. Unfortunately this amazing change was short lived, his hearing gradually reduced and went to thirty per cent within five weeks. His behaviour returned to Damien Omen proportions and this had a knock on effect on the whole family as everyone was constantly bickering. Once again we approached the Doctor and this time he recommended grommets in both ears to drain the fluid. After checking out various websites re this procedure I was loathe to put my son through this as most people said that they fell out within days or weeks; and had to go through it all again to have them replaced. My wife insisted that there wasn't another option and that we had been in and out of the Doctors and clinics for well over a year! The operation was the best thing for him and to get it done quickly as his School work was suffering. A day later we got a phone call saying that they had a cancellation and that our son could have his fitted the following Friday, which was only six days away. My wife agreed and he was booked in for the op. I was still totally against it, and totally unconvinced that there wasn't an alternative solution. In desperation I typed in `Cures for fluid in the ear' in Google and the first thing that came up was the Otovent Balloon. After reading about the product and watching the short movie clip on how it worked, I bought one off desertcart and paid for next day delivery. Once at home we made a game of blowing it up, with me pretending I couldn't inflate the balloon with my nostril, letting my son `Beat me' at blowing it up every time. This removed the seriousness from the procedure and at the first attempt on the second nostril, he shouted `Daddy my ear just went POP'! He was chuckling every time he inflated the balloon saying its crackling now, not popping. We made him do this four times on each nostril twice a day and by the fourth day I was convinced his hearing had improved dramatically. I knew this as my wife and I had always tested his hearing by whispering his name whilst stood behind him. Every time we had done this previously, he hadn't responded. After using the balloon and trying it, he turned round immediately asking what did I want, why was I calling his name! Desperate for him not to undergo surgery, I called the clinic and explained what we had done and that we would like an immediate hearing test. If all was well, then he wouldn't need grommets and some other child who did want them, could have the appointment. The clinic was more than willing to sort this out and we went in the next day at 8.30am. After conducting an audiology test and examining for fluid, the consultant was amazed that his hearing was slightly above the National average for children and the fluid had all but drained away! My wife was so happy she burst into tears in the consulting room! Our son still inflates the balloon morning and night, to prevent a recurrence of fluid and hearing loss. His Teacher has informed us that his behaviour is excellent and she never has to reprimand him during lessons. At home he has reverted back to the loving happy little boy we all know and he even gets on with his younger brother better than ever. We thoroughly recommend this product to any parent who would prefer their child to not have grommets.
Review: Ripped balloon - One of the balloons ripped immediately when we placed in on the plastic piece, before It was inflated, which is annoying. Worked okay with the second balloon. Time will tell as to whether it helps, but my daughter managed to inflate the balloon.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What age is this suitable from?**
A: Hi. From 4 yrs old onward. From observing my son using it I would say a 3year old would struggle to understand how to use it properly. Hope it helped

**Q: How does it work**
A: You hold one nostril closed and blow into the balloon with the other and swallow and apparently that clears the glue ear over time. Supposed to do it for 3 weeks and at some point your ears will "pop".

**Q: What is Otovent & how does it work?**
A: It's basically a special balloon which you blow up using your nose. It has a little tube attached to the balloon which you put into your nostril then close your other nostril off. You blow up the balloon with your nose which causes pressure in your inner ear and it basically tries to push the glue stuff out and get air back in. That's how I understand it anyway. It makes your ears pop and when my daughter used it she started getting results straight away. She had real problems with this and could hardly hear at times. Thankfully since using this it hasn't returned and I would highly recommend it.

**Q: I can't seem to inflate the balloon. Is this normal?**
A: It is very hard to inflate. Like all balloons it does get easier once it has been stretched a few times. It is the uncomfortably hard blowing that causes air to go into the middle ear and help to drain it but it is not easy or comfortable.
