Earflo is a rechargeable, hand-held therapeutic device designed to provide treatment of negative middleear pressure through a non-invasive method. Earflo functions by delivering controlled pressurized airinto the nasal passages to ventilate the middle ear by momentarily increasing the air pressure in the noseand eustachian tubes. During use, the child drinks from the integrated sippy cup while the nose is sealedagainst the device’s mask. When liquid is swallowed, a puff of air is delivered into the nasal passageand eustachian tube, thereby opening the eustachian tube and equalizing pressure in the middle ear.Earflo is intended for use in children aged two years and older (under adult supervision) and adults torelieve negative middle ear pressure, prevent the accumulation of middle ear fluid, and prevent hearingloss.
A manual device intended to reduce the symptoms associated with negative air pressure in the middle ear by increasing air pressure in the Eustachian tube, to counter/prevent certain physical states or thick fluid accumulation behind the eardrum. It typically consists of a manually-operated deflator/inflator (e.g., balloon) connected to an applicator (e.g., nosepiece, mouthpiece, face mask). This is a reusable device typically used in the home.
