Fill in the glue ear survey and have a chance of winning £250 of vouchers

Please take a minute to take our survey on glue ear. The survey is open to everyone with a child aged eighteen months to ten years old and everyone who takes part will be entered into a prize draw to win £250 of vouchers for either Boden, SpaceNK or The White Company.

Fill in the survey here

Thanks and good luck

Thanks Carrie!

(I would like GLTC vouchers btw )

hmm, I did wonder. There was a slightly anti-medical intervention tone to it all, which - as someone whose dd had four sets of grommets - I wasn't too taken with.

Sorry probably our mistake in misleading you with the glue ear title. The survey has been commissioned by a company that makes an "alternative" treatment for glue ear. They've already got lots of data on glue ear itself, this is more about what treatments folks have tried and the careers question is about when you plan your career and whether you think about the future impact of grommets. I think that's what it's about anyway. Hope that helps.
Oh and each survey where we offer a chance to win vouchers offers a new chance to win new vouchers, if that makes sense.
By the way we usually tell companies to offer these vouchers as an incentive. If there are other vouchers you'd prefer, do let us know.

Thanks all who've completed the survey so far.

Done it, but really odd questions.

scrooged · 16/01/2009 21:46

Done.

KingCanuteIAm · 16/01/2009 21:27

SO, MNHQ, are these entires being put into the same draw as the one for these vouchers the other day or do you have two sets of vouchers up for grabs?

(just worried about my chances of having nice stuff being diluted!)

some questions would have been better to allow more than one answer - or is that just me bein fussy

Sawyer64 · 16/01/2009 19:55

Done!

DrNortherner · 16/01/2009 19:47

Am I correct in thining you can't do those careers if you have a perforated ear drum (which you are likely to have if you had glue ear)?

Dozymare · 16/01/2009 19:40

done

coppertop · 16/01/2009 19:31

Done it but I didn't like the options for the final question about what you did if your child had glue ear. There was nowhere to put "Nothing - treatment wasn't needed". The wording of the "Nothing - wait to see if it clears up by itself" made it sound as though you couldn't be bothered to get it checked out by anyone.

BuckBuckMcFate · 16/01/2009 19:29

Why thank you [coy]

Reasonably sure that I've just used up my sharp quota for the day though!

spicemonster, me too

pointydog · 16/01/2009 19:10

buck, you are sharp tonight.

spicemonster · 16/01/2009 19:05

Aha buckbuck - very perceptive. I've done it. If I fit within their target group and there's a chance of winning something, I do the surveys. Nothing is beneath me

BuckBuckMcFate · 16/01/2009 19:02

i think that the professions listed are all ones where you could expect to experience a change of pressure which could affect your ears??

pointydog · 16/01/2009 19:00

doneit.

Isn't that odd, asking about my dream jobs as a child. I don't think they want to know about glue ear at all.

Tortoise · 16/01/2009 18:49

Done

EldonAve · 16/01/2009 18:38

Why do the surveys now ask for your MN name?

Reallytired · 16/01/2009 18:32

It would be intersting to know who is commisioning that questionaire. Many of the questions seem totally and utterly irrelevent to glue ear. There are questions that I think would have been more appriopate to ask if the researchers were seriously interested in glue ear.

Either the researchers are pretty ignorant about glue ear or they are actually trying to find out something else.

I have not done the questionaire even though I wouldn't mind the chance of winning £250.

DisasterArea · 16/01/2009 18:21

v unfair. DD1 had nasty glue ear but is 12. can i do it for DD2 who is 10 instead and pretend?
