Ear Infection
Eardoc relieves the pain associated with an ear infection (otitis media). When placed behind the ear, the Eardoc’s gentle vibrations open up clogged Eustachian tubes allowing the fluid build-up to drain from the middle ear.
An ear infection occurs when the Eustachian tubes are blocked due to allergy or infection in the upper part of the respiratory tract which cause fluids to
accumulate in the middle ear (located behind the ear drum) causing the middle ear to become inflamed.
Symptoms of ear infection may be:
- Fever
- Ear pain
- Warm drainage from the ear canal
- Popping, ringing or a feeling of fullness in the ear
- Muffled hearing
- Fussiness and feeding problems in young children
- Balance problems and dizziness
- Vomiting
Swimmer’s Ear
Eardoc relieves the pain associated with swimmer’s ear. It works quickly to eliminate fluid build-up from the canal allowing the ear to heal naturally without the discomfort of an earache.
Swimmer’s ear is an infection of the skin along the outer ear canal, the tube leading from the outside opening of the ear to the ear drum. The infection is caused by bacteria that grows due to moisture trapped in the ear canal from baths, showers, swimming or moist environments. Symptoms begin with an itchy ear that intensifies to pain which occurs when yawning, swallowing or touching the ear.
Other symptoms may include any of the following:
- Sensation that the ear is blocked or full
- Fluid/puss draining from ear
- Decreased hearing
- Intense pain that may spread to the neck, face, or side of the head
- Swollen lymph nodes around the ear or in the upper neck.
- Redness and swelling of the skin around the ear
Pressure Related Ear Pain
Eardoc relieves the pain and ear discomfort associated with air travel, scuba diving and any activity where one would experience altitude changes. When placed behind the ear, the Eardoc’s gentle vibrations open up the Eustachian tubes allowing the air pressure to equalize.
When flying it’s possible to experience pain due to the dramatic difference in air pressure on either side of the ear drum which causes the eardrum to retract inward making it tense. The changes in altitude and resulting changes in air pressure within the airplane cabin can prove particularly bothersome to individuals with narrow Eustachian tubes, a cold, allergies or anything else that can cause blockage to the Eustachian tube.
Symptoms may be:
- Ear discomfort
- Feeling of fullness in the ear
- Muffled hearing
- Ringing or buzzing in the ear
- Intermittent sharp pain
- Dizziness
- Difficulty popping the ear
