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

Excellent! Got my hearing back after having lost it for 8 weeks. (This was a reaction to covid.) This little gadget was a Godsend. After the first use, hearing was dramatically improved. Then continued trying it several more times. Friends had gone to ENT's, had tubes, etc with no luck. One was told to get a hearing aid for thousands of dollars.

I have had a chronic problem with my left ear for years. Plugging up to the point of near deafness. At one point the situation was bad enough that I had to have an ENT use a needle to draw fluid out of my inner ear, twice. Then followed a grommet procedure. It was looking like I was going to have to go back for a 2nd grommet when I found this product. Within a few days my ear has cleared out and my hearing is normal. If I feel congestion coming on, due to illness, I use this again and the problem is resolved. There are 2 different methods of using this product. YouTube videos demonstrate quite well how to use it. If you find that the product is not working as good as it once did, change the balloon. You would be surprised how much they stretch with use, reducing the pressure and effectiveness.

Bought these as I had my ears clog on a flight and they didn't pop for over a month.I was doing plug and blow to no avail so out of desperation I bought these.Used them for a month and they didn't help either.The only difference I could feel between using the balloon over plugging and blowing is it was easier to do the swallowing and throat clear to let the air out of the balloon.should you buy them? If you are desperate and want to try everything available before putting tubes in your ears.Did my ears ever unplug? yes, on another flight during takeoff I had this loud crackling noise (think Efferdent fizzing) when I landed the pressure was normal.Still had vertigo but that was from TMJ a issue

I have had a blocked ear for about a year. I've had two procedures in the past, once with a tube (grommet) inserted. Those are painful, and I just can't being myself to do it again. I had some Amazon points, so I used them for this gizmo. My one complaint is that the "directions" are useless. It's an insert in several languages that tells you what the device is for, but it has absolutely no directions on its use. (Unless there was something that was accidentally left out of the box.) Thank goodness for YouTube. According to the video, it may take quite a while with a few weeks of use to open up your ear. This is not an instantaneous solution. I DO feel the pressure changing somewhat on my first day of use, so I will keep it up, but my ear is still very much blocked. I just wanted to leave a review before my time was up, and I could no longer comment on it. The ENT videos on YouTube are useful as well as the comments and questions left by other users.

I was unsure about buying this based on the reviews, but it works. My ears have felt blocked for WEEKS now. They were slowly recovering, but quickly returned to normal with this device. As other reviews say, you can also just pinch your nostrils and blow out your nose, but personally, I never knew how hard/long to do that… and for some reason this thing just works better. Swallowing with the inflated balloon against your nostril seems to help.I wish I’d bought it weeks ago. It would have saved me two doctor’s visits (with an $50 dollar copay - wow. $50 copay for a primary care visit... what is the world coming to? Health insurance sucks these days) and a lot of worrying.

After 3 trips to medical clinics, it was suggested to try this. Yes it worked after a few days. (Ears plugged for 5 weeks.)Talked to ENT Dr. They didn’t have an opinion on it. But it worked. I used only the balloons that came with it. You can reuse balloons up to 20 times before tossing it.

I've been deaf in one ear for the past month. Completely deaf on my left ear. Went to the ENT, did hearing test, scan, etc. No sound coming through due to blockage of fluid build in the middle ear. They recommended Otovent. I bought it. Used it one time and voila! My ear unclogged! I can hear again! The Dr recommend it I use it 4 times a day for 3-4 weeks. It's an amazing little thing. It takes 10 seconds to use and it works perfectly.

My right ear was blocked for 2 weeks. I tried drops, sprays, various maneuvers and nothing worked. I did not have a lot of faith that this would work when I ordered it.It unblocked my ear on the first try!
