Otosoft: The In-Office Solution for Chronic Ear Pressure
If your ears often feel blocked, full, or painful—especially during elevation changes like flying or diving—you may be dealing with Eustachian Tube Dysfunction(ETD).
Otosoft restores natural ear pressure for lasting relief.
What is Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD)?
Your Eustachian tubes connect your middle ear to the back of your nose, helping your ears equalize air pressure.
When those tubes become blocked or inflamed, pressure can’t escape—causing discomfort, muffled hearing, or a constant “plugged” sensation.
Common symptoms of ETD:
Ear pressure or fullness
Pain or popping during altitude changes
Muffled or “underwater” hearing
Temporary hearing loss or imbalance
Why other common treatments may not last
Decongestants, nasal sprays, or ear tubes can bring short-term relief, but they often don’t fix the root cause of the problem…
A narrow or inflamed Eustachian tube.
As long as the tube remains in a narrow state, the pressure in the ear won’t be able to equalize normally. Otosoft is designed to correct that problem directly, restoring natural function and long-term relief.
Schedule Your ConsultationHow Otosoft works
Otosoft (eustachian tube dilation) is a minimally invasive, in-office balloon dilation procedure that gently opens the Eustachian tube to allow air to flow freely and pressure to stabilize.
Here’s what to expect:
1
You’re provided an oral sedation and local anesthetic
2
A tiny balloon is guided into the Eustachian tube
3
The balloon is inflated briefly to open the passage
4
It’s then removed, leaving the tube open and functioning normally
The entire procedure takes about 30 minutes in the comfort of our office, and most people return to normal activity the next day.

Mild congestion or soreness for 1-2 days
Safe to resume most light activity and return to work within 24 hours

Does the Otosoft procedure hurt?
The procedure is performed in a clinic and typically takes only a few minutes. Experiences vary: some people feel minimal sensation, while others notice a feeling similar to airplane ear. Watch this short video to see what the procedure looks like.
What if I’ve already tried ear tubes or medication?
If ear tubes helped but symptoms returned, you may be a candidate for Otosoft, which targets the eustachian tube’s natural function. If ear tubes did not help, we will evaluate for other causes such as TMJ-related fullness.
How soon will I notice the results?
Many people notice improvement during or shortly after the procedure. For others, normal healing and adaptation mean full benefits may be felt over 1–2 months. Temporary congestion may occur due to cartilaginous tissue stretching during healing.
Is Otosoft safe?
Yes. Eustachian tube dilation is a minimally invasive procedure performed by trained ENT specialists. It requires no general anesthesia and has a strong track record of safety and patient satisfaction.
Can I return to normal activities after treatment?
Yes. Most patients return to work, travel, or regular routines within 24 hours. Your ENT will provide specific post-care instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery.
