What is Otovent?
Otovent is an auto inflation tool that uses a specially pressurized balloon to open the eustachian tubes. For people with glue ear, this allows the sticky fluid associated with the condition to drain safely away. The Otovent device is also useful for diving.
Glue ear otherwise known (as Otitis Media with Effusion or Serious Otitis Media), is a disorder affecting hearing. As a result, it can interfere with communication at work or home and lead to social struggles.
What are the symptoms of Glue Ear?
- Dulled Hearing - The sticky glue-like fluid associated with the condition dampens the vibrations made by soundwaves, causing a reduction in hearing volume.
- Selective Hearing - People with glue ear may have selective hearing.
- Balance problems can be caused by ear conditions - The dulled hearing caused by glue ear can result in communication challenges at work and social difficulties
- Using a Louder Volume - If you find yourself turning the volume up louder than usual on household devices, this could be a sign of glue ear
- Communication Problems - Social interaction can become strained due to the dulled hearing caused by glue ear
What causes glue ear?
The accumulation of fluid in the middle ear is sometimes referred to as glue ear. Like in instances of middle ear infection, this condition is more common in young children, because the tubes connecting their ear to their shoulders are much narrower than an older person's and are more inclined to become clogged. The Eustachian tubes are responsible for ensuring the ears are kept clear of excess fluid and maintain a normal channel.
Normal inner ear space is filled with air most of the time, but sometimes fluid can collect in the space due to a disease, such as a cold or virus. In severe allergic reactions, the Eustachian tubes can even become swollen and constricted, causing fluid buildup.
How to use Otovent?
The Otovent device opens the Eustachian tube to permit fluid in the middle ear to drain. The procedure can be performed at home under the watch of a parent. It takes only a moment to perform and is painless. Otovent should be used 2 to 3 times daily for a period of 2 to 3 weeks. Otovent balloons should be changed every day. Otovent should not be used during a cold, ear, or throat infection.
Note! maximum 20 inflations per balloon. Non-returnable item after opened or used
When the balloon is inflated to a grapefruit size the technique is correct and therefore optimum benefits from the treatment will be gained. You will know that the treatment works if you experience a pressure increase and/or a "pop" in the ear. If the ear does not “pop” upon inflation, the patient should swallow as the balloon deflates back through the nasal passageway.
What are the Benefits of using Otovent?
- 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.

- Natural, non-surgical treatment which helps to treat the symptoms of glue ear and Eustachian tube dysfunction.
Conclusion
While glue ear can be serious, this issue typically resolves on its own. Sometimes it can take as long as three months before full restoration is achieved. As fluid drains from the ears, you will hear better. The Otovent auto inflation device is an FDA-approved, drug-free and non-surgical treatment for the signs and symptoms of glue ear or otitis media with effusion.
