When little ears need a little help

Normally, swallowing opens the eustachian tube to release pressure in the ear.

When that doesn't happen, fluid builds up, affecting children in several ways.

  • Hearing loss
  • Frequent ear infections
  • Pain and discomfort
  • Developmental delays
  • Sleep problems
  • Behavioral issues

The real cost of waiting

Childhood doesn't pause while families wait. Persistent ear fluid can impact how kids feel, communicate and learn during their most important years.

  • Missed milestones

    Hearing loss can cause developmental delays, making it harder to learn and socialize.

  • Disrupted routines

    Pain and discomfort lead to sleepless nights and missed school, impacting the whole family.

  • Financial burden

    The cost of repeated doctor visits, prescriptions, and surgery can reach into the thousands of dollars.

  • Surgical procedures

    Families are often told to wait for months before ear tube surgery becomes the next step.

Meet Earflo

A medical device hidden inside a sippy cup.

Your child drinks while Earflo detects each swallow and precisely coordinates a gentle pulse of air into the nose. This helps open the Eustachian tube and release trapped fluid to restore hearing.
