I used one of those push-top caps that come on kids drinks (or some sport water bottles) and just closed the tip, put a balloon on the wide end, then went through the second option he showed and it worked!!! I just saved myself $37.70 because that's what those things go for on Amazon right now. I am all for people trying to make a profit but that's ridiculous for what this product is.

pretty cool idea, try to make a video on it

@marydonladson8162 Жыл бұрын

That wouldn't work properly. It has to be a certain pressure in the ballon. The Otovent-ballon is build to get the right pressure. A normal ballon has another pressure

@sammora470 Жыл бұрын

@Mary Donladson nah, they say it's just a regular latex balloon, the balloon quality doesn't determine the pressure, its how much you blow it up. That's why a balloon with little air in it won't pop if you stamp it, but a balloon with lots of air will.

@adntigger71015 Жыл бұрын

@@marydonladson8162 Though u may be correct that they have a different pressure, they're actually close enough to achieve the same clinical result. There's actually a study on this, this was their result.

I have had glue ear for a few weeks now and purchased this as the valsalva does not work. This is just a more expensive valsalva and it actually put more fluid in my ear and made me more deaf. This is a very risky device and if the valsalva doesn't work, I would highly recommend steering clear of this.

Eustachian tube blockage shouldn't stop you from being able to breathe it back in. It's just breathing in through the nose so it's the nostril that must be blocked. Can you breathe through your nose?

I know this sounds daft, but how should the air go back up your nose? Do you breathe it in or should it shoot up your nose automatically when you swallow?

@RNScrub Жыл бұрын

It just pressures from the release.

@guitorgan Жыл бұрын

Are you serious...this thing cost around $22 and it's just the fitting to put the balloon on and then in your nose, which you don't really need... that they're selling you. ANY average size BALOON WILL WORK WITHOUT the fitting. Just put the opening of a party ballon up your nose and kind'a seal the area around gentely, with your fingers and BLOW! The balloon will inflate and the same effect takes place. What a racquet to sell balloons (and a fitting you don't need) for a 1000% of their intial cost!

@marydonladson8162 Жыл бұрын

A normal balloon won't do it. The thing with the Otovent is, that it's built, so there is a certain pressure in it, and this pressure is the best pressure to solve your problem. That's also why the ballons are made of latex, which normal balloons aren't

@Titans2138 Жыл бұрын

@@marydonladson8162I doubt there’s a perfect pressure and anyway it matters how much you blow it up and how work out the ballon is so you could recreate the same pressure with any 100 pk of party balloons

Just blow with your mouth. And then put it to your nostril, while keeping the other nostril closed with a finger. Release the ballon and sink one or 2 times. Then air wil get in you middle ear

Hello, I've been feeling bubbles in my ears for almost a year, I went to the ENT doctor, he gave me corticosteroids, they performed a CT scan of my ear and everything went well. however I still feel the bubbles. The doctor told me that it is patience that he sees that my Eustachian tube is working but that it is lazy. I started using otovent 2 days ago but my ears get clogged a lot, and after using it takes a lot of time in the ear to uncover. Is this normal for the first few days?

@RNScrub Жыл бұрын

It’s normal since the ears have to get accustomed to being unglued and open up. Sometimes could be a chronic issue all varies

Hi there. Did the Otovent help your Eustachian tubes? I’m seeing mixed reviews. I’ve also had crackling in the ears for quite some time, but recently the left feels more pressured.
