Is Earflo right for you?

Earflo is intended to treat negative middle ear pressure in patients ages 2 years and older.

Normally, swallowing opens the eustachian tube (popping the ears), which equalizes pressure in the middle ear, behind the eardrum. When this doesn’t happen, negative pressure can build up, leading to fluid accumulation in the middle ear, impaired hearing, and hearing loss.

Warnings and Contraindications (when Earflo should not be used)

Consult with your doctor before using Earflo if you have had eye, ear or nose surgery, or any ear trauma.

Do not use Earflo if you or your child has a fever or intense ear pain. These may be signs of an active ear infection. Wait until symptoms have fully resolved before starting treatment.

Do not use Earflo if you have a perforated eardrum, an active ear infection, severe nasal congestion or a bloody nose. Do not use Earflo if you have allergies to ABS plastic or silicone material.

Indications for Use

The Earflo device is indicated for the treatment of negative middle ear pressure. Negative middle ear pressure can lead to fluid accumulation in the middle ear, impaired hearing, and hearing loss. Earflo provides a method of ventilating the middle ear by momentarily increasing the air pressure in the nose and the eustachian tube.

How does Earflo work?

Fill Earflo with water. The mask seals on the nose and releases a gentle puff of air precisely coordinated with drinking and swallowing. This momentary increase in pressure inside the nose assists the eustachian tube in opening, equalizing the pressure.

What’s included?

Everything in the box is designed to make using Earflo easy and convenient for you and your child at home:

  • Earflo device
  • 2 masks so you can find the right fit
  • USB Charging cable (USB-A power adapter not included)
  • Easy-to-follow quick start guide

How Earflo Works

Earflo takes the stress out of managing chronic ear infections by turning treatment into a familiar and enjoyable routine for children.

  1. The child drinks from Earflo like a sippy cup.
  2. The mask forms a seal on the child's nose.
  3. Earflo precisely synchronizes controlled airflow with each swallow, gently pressurizing the nasal cavity.
  4. The pressure helps open the eustachian tube.
  5. Pressure is relieved and trapped fluid can be released.

This WORKS!!!

This WORKS!!!

My daughter could not hear because of constant ear fluid. She used it once, and her hearing instantly improved. It's like a miracle for us!
AshleighMom

Kids couldn't put it down!

As an audiologist and mother, I am always worried my kids have a middle ear pathology, especially in winter or when their speech isn't clear! Thanks Earflo for a gentle, fun, and engaging way to clear my kids' ears. When paired with the app and the game, my kids couldn't put it down!
KatAudiologist and Mom
Way better alternative to surgery!

Way better alternative to surgery!

She really liked it, and it was simple for her to use. She wanted to do it more, actually! Her hearing is perfect now. We don't have to have the iPad at full volume anymore. Already have told others about it and how satisfied we are with it. It's a way better alternative to surgery!

Remarkable invention!

The ear feels great, and my hearing is restored. I have shared the information about the Earflo with friends and family. It's truly a remarkable invention!

Anything not to go through with surgery

It was great. The treatment schedule was easy and enjoyable, and the app encouraged her to try. Anything to not go through with surgery.

Would pay more

Very user-friendly, easy to clean and put together. Would pay more considering the out-of-pocket surgery costs.

We were gobsmacked

We were gobsmacked

Putting your child through another operation isn't really what you want to do as a parent. The fact that Earflo worked, we were gobsmacked. We didn't end up having to have another set of grommets.
Melissamom of a 12-year-old

Good value for money

Very easy to fit into routine. Good value for money given we have previously been down the surgical pathway.
Tanyamom of a 6-year-old

Great for my kid

Thought it was great. The app made it engaging and great for my kid. Would pay more knowing how much he has improved, and also surgery costs.

Changed my life!

Changed my life!

In the past, I've had four sets of ear tubes and a lot of pain in my ears. I couldn't hear in class and missed opportunities in my learning. I used this cup, and within a month, my hearing has gotten better and my pain has subdued. It really has changed my life.

Highly recommended

The app was 100% helpful. Highly recommend considering the costs saved from potential surgery.

FAQs

What types of ear problems can Earflo help treat?

Earflo is an FDA-cleared medical device that treats negative middle ear pressure at home. Negative middle ear pressure can lead to fluid buildup (otitis media with effusion, also known as glue ear) and chronic ear infections. Symptoms of these conditions include pain and discomfort, impaired hearing, and hearing loss.

What is negative middle ear pressure?

Negative middle ear pressure occurs when the eustachian tube doesn't open properly, creating a vacuum behind the eardrum. Normally, ears pop during swallowing or yawning to balance pressure. When this doesn't happen, negative pressure can cause fluid buildup, discomfort, and impaired hearing. Earflo works by gently delivering air through the nose to help open the eustachian tube and restore normal pressure.

How often and for how long should my child use Earflo?

Earflo should be used twice per day, with five gentle air puffs per session as your child swallows water from the Earflo cup. Once familiar, a full session takes a few minutes. If symptoms haven't improved after two weeks, consult your doctor, though many children continue to see improvement through the full four-week course.

Is Earflo safe for young children?

Yes, Earflo has been clinically studied and FDA-cleared for children ages 2 and up. Earflo’s companion app turns treatment into a game, keeping kids motivated throughout the course of treatment.

Could Earflo help my child avoid ear tube surgery?

Earflo offers a non-surgical option to help equalize middle ear pressure at home, and may reduce the need for ear tube surgery. In clinical studies, 89% of children indicated for ear tube surgery did not go on to have the procedure after using Earflo for four weeks.

Is Earflo HSA and FSA eligible?

Earflo is HSA and FSA eligible. We recommend confirming with your provider, as coverage details can vary by plan.

What is the warranty and return policy?

Earflo comes with a one-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use. This warranty is limited to replacement of the product and does not provide refunds. Damage caused by accidents or misuse is excluded. Because Earflo is a medical device that comes into contact with your child, we are unable to accept returns outside of warranty claims. If something isn't right, please reach out, and we'll make it right.
