Moozles had glue ear when she was four and five. And then when she was six, she got grommets put in and had her adenoids taken out. This made a huge difference to her hearing. Well, we recently noticed that her hearing had deteriorated again. Last week Moozles saw the ENT Consultant who advised that she use an Otovent balloon three times a day. Basically she blows up the balloon with her nose, which will then open up her Eustachian tubes and hopefully the fluid that is built up in her middle ear will drain away.
Husband has glue ear that he never outgrew. In January, Dubz had grommets put in. There is a strong family history of glue ear (which basically means that I spend a lot of time shouting at everyone). Moozles will see the ENT again in five weeks, and if the Otovent hasn’t helped then she will get grommets again. Fingers crossed we get rid of that glue ear soon!
I’ve not heard of this method before. I hope that this helps her. My son had glue ear some time ago and we all found that quite difficult. Go away glue ear! 🙂
Sounds like a real hassle but looks like Moozles has got the hang of managing it
I hadn’t seen this method before. Hope it clears up soon.
Oh wow, poor kid, Well, poor Dubz, Moozle and Mr Californian Mum in London. Here’s hoping it clears up. Oddly, I had grommets when younger and had my adenoids taken out. Wonder if I had glue ear??
I really hope it clears up soon.
Thank you for linking up
Oh no i totally feel your pain, we have glue ear again too for my son that’s 4 and a half. Is so sad and frustrating at the same time! We use the otovent balloon too but my son can never blow it up like that, good nose skills girl! I hope it goes away for them both so we don’t have any grommet ops. Fingers crossed xx
What a really interesting method – I do hope it helps and that it all gets sorted soon x #MySundayPhoto
Aww! Bless her. I hope it is fixed soon….
What a great idea to cure it x
Oh, poor Moozles, I hope this helps! I’ve never seen this method before, but certainly looks like Moozles has got the hang of it.
I didn’t know you could do this. Hope they do manage to resolve it all for her. Xx
That looks really hard to do. I hope it would help her. #MySundayPhoto
