THE
OTOVENT®

Providing successful relief of ear pain for more than 20
years, Otovent® is a highly eective, yet inexpensive,
alternative to surgery and drug therapies.
NATURAL RELIEF
FOR EAR PAIN
AND PRESSURE
The Otovent® Auto Ination system oers otitis media
with eusion (OME or glue ear) patients a proven rst-line
treatment option in relieving ear pain and pressure. It is a non-
surgical, drug free treatment and has been recommended by
ENT specialists for over 20 years.
The patient inates a small balloon using their nose and at the
same time the pressure equalizes and relieves the symptoms
in the middle ear. Blowing up the balloon helps to open up
the Eustachian tube, making it easier for uid to drain from
the middle ear.
It is natural, painless, and takes only
a matter of seconds to perform.

WHAT IS GLUE EAR?
If the Eustachian tube becomes blocked – usually due to a
common cold or allergies – the middle ear will ll with uid rather
than air, pulling the eardrum inward. After a while this uid can
become thick and glue like. This condition is known as Glue ear
or Otitis Media with Eusion (OME). With glue ear your child
will not be able to hear properly and it may be painful due to
negative pressure. Glue ear is very common, as many as 8 out
of 10 children will experience it at least once before they are 10
years old.
IT’S SIMPLE.
The soothing eects of Otovent® provide pain relief while
making it fun for children. The Otovent® procedure can
be performed anytime, anywhere. This painless treatment
takes only a matter of seconds to complete:
1. Connect the balloon to the nose
piece. Hold the round part of the nose
piece rmly against the right nostril with
one hand. Press the left nostril closed
with the left hand.
2. Inhale deeply, close the mouth and
inate the balloon by blowing through
the nostril until it is the size of a
grapefruit. You will know the treatment
works if there is a pressure change with
or without a “click” in the ear.
3. Repeat the procedure with the other
nostril.
By inating the balloon 2 to 3 times daily, symptoms are
relieved quickly and eectively anytime, anywhere with the
included travel case.
In a healthy ear, the pressure is equalized by swallowing or
yawning. However, when these actions do not help, a negative
pressure will build up in the middle ear. If left untreated the child
can develop glue ear. Glue ear can cause hearing loss and be
very painful for the child, leaving the doctor few alternatives as
to how to treat the associated pain.
Otovent® provides natural, gentle, and eective relief of pain
and pressure associated with chronic uid due to middle
ear infections. Because of its natural action and results, the
Otovent® method is being recommended worldwide as an
alternative to ventilation tube ear surgery.
Otovent® may provide the only treatment your child needs
to alleviate the symptoms of middle ear uid.

ALTERNATIVE
TO VENT TUBE
SURGERY
HOW DOES OTOVENT® RELIEVE
THE PAIN?
Otovent® opens and ventilates the eustachian tube using positive
air pressure (auto-ination). This action allows the uid that has
collected in the middle ear to drain down the back of the throat.
The auto-ination relieves the pain until the body can naturally
ght o the infection. Children and adults get back to normal day
to day activities faster without extreme medical intervention or
recovery time.
