What age is this suitable from?

Hi. From 4 yrs old onward. From observing my son using it I would say a 3year old would struggle to understand how to use it properly. Hope it helped

You hold one nostril closed and blow into the balloon with the other and swallow and apparently that clears the glue ear over time. Supposed to do it for 3 weeks and at some point your ears will "pop".

What is Otovent & how does it work?

It's basically a special balloon which you blow up using your nose. It has a little tube attached to the balloon which you put into your nostril then close your other nostril off. You blow up the balloon with your nose which causes pressure in your inner ear and it basically tries to push the glue stuff out and get air back in. That's how I understand it anyway. It makes your ears pop and when my daughter used it she started getting results straight away. She had real problems with this and could hardly hear at times. Thankfully since using this it hasn't returned and I would highly recommend it.

I can't seem to inflate the balloon. Is this normal?

It is very hard to inflate. Like all balloons it does get easier once it has been stretched a few times. It is the uncomfortably hard blowing that causes air to go into the middle ear and help to drain it but it is not easy or comfortable.
