The party noise makers are supportive tools used in the P.E.A.N.U.T. method for serous middle ear fluid accumulation and middle ear inflammation. They help ventilate the middle ear cavity. With the help of these devices, medium-pressure air exercises can be performed. The use of the devices is demonstrated in the following video.
I. Pneumatization exercises facilitate the pneumatization in the middle ear region.
They should be practiced in this order:
I. a) Passive techniques without pressure
I. b) Low-pressure exercises (0-circa 50 mm Hg)
I. c) Middle-pressure exercises (circa 50-100 mm Hg)
I. d) High-pressure autoinsufflation exercises (circa 100-150 mm Hg)
Low and middle pressure exercises
Low-pressure exercises include snuffing out a candle, rolling along a ping-pong ball, letting a feather fly with 1 opened and 1 pinched nostril. Middle-pressure exercises include blowing of party noise makers with well-cleaned noses.
