Otovent

The Otovent autoinflation device is the only clinically effective, drug-free and non-surgical treatment for glue ear or Otitis Media with Effusion. It also equalises pressure in the middle ear for use during a flight or as a visual aid to equalising, an essential Scuba Diving technique.
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.
Reduces the need for grommet surgery.
Helps prevent hearing and learning impairment caused by glue ear.
Natural, non-surgical treatment which helps to treat the symptoms of glue ear and Eustachian tube dysfunction.

Otovent is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) as a treatment during the active observation period (also known as “watchful waiting”). The treatment is convenient and increases chances of a shorter glue ear recovery period. Otovent is also the only clinically effective, non-invasive glue ear treatment that helps to reduce referral for grommet surgery by 50%. It is available free on prescription for children from your GP.
