Everyone can imagine the discomfort caused by a feeling of muffled hearing due to changes in atmospheric pressure (air travel, scuba diving, climbing and descending mountains, etc.). Negative pressure in the middle ear can cause pain, muffled hearing, hearing loss, fluid behind the eardrum, acute and subacute otitis media, and balance disorders.

OTOSBLOKrelieves and resolves negative pressure in the middle ear. It is easy to use and is suitable for anyone suffering from tubal insufficiency.
The application takes a few seconds (2-3 seconds) and can be repeated if necessary, with a break of at least 5 minutes between treatments. This treatment (insufflation of air into the middle ear) is known by otolaryngologists as the Politzer maneuver , named after the otolaryngologist Adamo Politzer, who in 1860 developed an effective method of opening the Eustachian tube by increasing the air pressure in the nose.

Treatment must be carried outafter consulting a doctorand/or on the prescription of a specialist, following an endoscopic examination and measurement of middle ear ventilation pressures (e.g., with impedance testing) and/or hearing conditions (audiometric testing).

Instructions for Use

  1. Make sure the device is charged.
  2. Insert the supplied nozzle onto the cannula at the top of the device.
  3. Place the Otosblok® nozzle against the nostril and press gently to seal it. Close the opposite nostril with a finger and keep your mouth closed.
  4. Press and hold the button to start delivering airflow into the nasal cavity for a few seconds (2–3 seconds), selecting the treatment pressure: - V1 to deliver low ventilation pressure (~10 kPa, recommended especially for children ages 4 and older), - V2 for higher pressure (~35 kPa, for adults or in cases of severe obstruction).
  5. During the 2–3 seconds of air delivery, swallow once. To encourage swallowing, it may be helpful to hold a sip of water in your mouth; for example, ask the child to swallow while the device is in operation. Treatment takes place only during swallowing, with the mouth and nostrils closed.
  6. Repeat the procedure for the other nostril.
  7. If necessary, wait 5 minutes and repeat the treatment (steps 1-4).
