We were prescribed one after visiting the audiologist for a hearing test for DD for glue ear. They gave us a letter to tell the GP to prescribe one. Unfortunately I can't comment on whether it works - DD is only 4 and it is too much for her to blow up. It listed on the NHS choices website as a treatment for glue ear so I think it is well worth a try if you think your DC would be able to manage to blow it up.

I had it to try as a teenager - it didn't help much and was really hard to blow up. Apparently it sometimes works though.
