Based on the Politzer Maneuver, the EarPopper ®delivers a safe, constant, regulated stream of air into the nasal cavity. During the moment of swallowing the air is diverted up the Eustachian tube clearing and ventilating the middle ear. The EarPopper relieves negative ear pressure and allows any accumulated fluids to drain. Nonsurgical home treatment of middle ear effusion and associated hearing loss of children. Part I: Clinical trial’ ENT JOURNAL Sept. 2005. ‘Nonsurgical home treatment of middle ear effusion and associated hearing loss in children. Part II: Validation study’ ENT JOURNAL Oct. 2005. In an NIH (National Institutes of Health) funded the clinical study on children, the EarPopper® restored hearing to normal limits in 85% of the children without surgery or medication.

When the ET doesn't function normally and the middle ear isn't ventilated properly the middle ear becomes a closed space with unbalanced pressure. An unbalanced middle ear forces pressure on the eardrum which is not only uncomfortable, but also affects your hearing. This closed space also cannot drain properly resulting in fluid build up behind the eardrum. The EarPopper ®balances pressure in the middle ear by delivering a safe, constant stream of air into the nasal cavity. During the moment of swallowing, the air opens the Eustachian Tube, clearing the middle ear, relieving negative ear pressure and allowing any fluids to drain. The Eustachian Tube (ET) is the body’s only mechanism for equalizing pressure and ventilating the space behind the eardrum (Middle Ear). The ET normally opens when you swallow or yawn. A normallyfunctioning ET keeps the middle ear ventilated and the pressure equalized. In other studies published in the Peer Reviewed ENT Journal and the Journal of Audiology, the EarPopper® demonstrated the safety and efficacy of relieving ear pressure problems in both Children and Adults.The EarPopper ®Ear Pressure Relief Device is a safe, simple, non-surgical, non-drug related prescription device for treating such common conditions as Otitis Media with Effusion, Aerotitis/Barotitis (caused by rapid elevation changes), and Eustachain Tube Dysfunction in children and adults. When the ET doesn’t function normally, the middle ear becomes a closed, unbalanced space which forces uncomfortable pressure on the eardrum while affecting your hearing.

You might experience this while flying on an airplane or traveling on a fast moving elevator (especially when you have a cold or allergies). The pressure on the eardrums and the related discomfort can be unbearable. Not to mention the reduction in hearing from the pressure on the eardrums and the potential for more serious problems if the pressure isn't relieved.

In a four year study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, 85% of children diagnosed with hearing loss from persistent Otitis Media with Effusion (OME) who where treated with the EarPopper ®regained their hearing. The EarPopper ®restored their hearing to normal without antibiotics or vent tubes.
