If you/the child experience no change:

To take full advantage of the therapeutic potential of the Otovent method, it is important that both the parents and the child understand and follow the instructions with the pictorial illustrations that are included in the packaging. It is also very advantageous if the method is both demonstrated at the surgery/clinic and the first treatment is performed under the supervision of a doctor or nurse.

It is worth remembering the following.

  • The Otovent method should be used two to three times a day for two to four weeks. The results of the clinical trials are based on this treatment frequency (References 1-3).
  • No medical balloon should be used for more than 10 treatments (three to four days). If it is used for longer, the pressure that is established will be too low to obtain a therapeutic result.

Never use toy balloons. Clinical studies reveal that auto-inflation with balloons of this kind is of no medical value (Reference 4).

In normal circumstances, the treatment is painless, but some patients may experience pain. This pain is simply an expression of the success of the treatment and disappears after several treatments. In the event of known or suspected latex allergy, Otovent should not be used.
