Description
What this medicine is for
Otovent Treatment for Glue Ear is a non-invasive device used to help manage glue ear (otitis media with effusion).
Glue ear occurs when fluid builds up behind the eardrum, which can cause hearing difficulties, a feeling of fullness in the ears, and pressure-related discomfort.
How it works
Otovent uses a technique called autoinflation.
By inflating a specially designed balloon through the nose, gentle air pressure is created that helps open the Eustachian tubes. This can improve ventilation of the middle ear and encourage fluid drainage.
