Transforming Chronic Ear Infection Treatment with Innovative Medical Device Technology.

• Chronic ear infections in children can lead to hearing loss, developmental delays, and quality of life issues for both children and parents. Current treatment options often involve surgery after a waiting period of about six months.
• While grommet surgery is effective, it carries surgical risks and can be costly. EarFlo is a medical device designed to address chronic ear infections by restoring the natural ear popping process during swallowing. It aims to alleviate symptoms and potentially avoid the need for surgery.
• EarFlo is not just a sippy cup but a sophisticated medical device developed in collaboration with surgeons. It undergoes extensive testing and clinical trials to ensure safety and efficacy for children.
• In a pilot study, EarFlo showed clinical improvement in 65% of children after just one treatment. Some children even shifted from being indicated for surgery to not needing it after using the device.
• EarFlo is anticipated to receive regulatory clearance in early 2025. Interested parties can sign up on the website to join the mailing list for updates on commercial availability and investment opportunities. The company is currently raising investment.
