Product Quick Facts

• Eardoc is a non-invasive safe-to-use device for ear pain with or without antibiotics.
• Eardoc opens the Eustachian tube by shaking the Eustachian tube and the tissue surrounding it.
• Opening the Eustachian tube and releasing trapped fluids would release the pressure on the eardrum.
• Eardoc works best for releasing fluids that have low viscosity but can also reduce the pressure for glue ear.
• Eardoc can be used for ear infections and otitis media but also trapped non infected fluids.
• Eardoc can be used in conjunction with other OTC/Rx analgesics.
• The device does not cause any known drug interactions and has no side effects.
• Eardoc is safe and effective for all ages above two years old when used as recommended.
• Eardoc is available to sell in your office or retail location. buy a package of 10 units or contact us for further information.
• Eardoc efficiency can also be measured easily in your office using a tympanometry.  test the patient with a tympanometry before and after the use of the Eardoc. For information on clinical studies click here. 

How does Eardoc work?

Eardoc device improves the possibility to open the blocked Eustachian tubes in a combined action that involves exertion of pressure from the middle ear and the ear drum  which results in reducing the edema.

Eardoc creates special vibrations which conform especially to the structure of the middle ear, along the outer ear canal to the tympanic membrane. These pulses in turn produce tiny pressure waves affecting the walls of the clogged Eustachian tube,and relaxing the tissue surrounding the Eustachian tube  releasing the accumulated air and fluids (infected or non-infected) and relieving pressure on the eardrum.

In addition, the vibrations affect the swollen mucus membrane of the middle ear, reducing edema of the middle ear (the main reason for blockage of the Eustachian tube and the build up of fluids and air in the middle ear cavity).

Eardoc - Recommended Treatment

• The device is positioned behind and rested on the base of the ear (on  the mastoid bone behind the ear)
• In cases of a blocked canal, Eardoc can be used four - six times a day, approximately 3-5 minutes each time.
• Eardoc should be used while sitting down. Using the device standing up may cause loss of balance and dizziness.
• Note that the device is not suitable for use in children under the age of one.

Eardoc - frequency adjustment   
 

In order to improve efficacy of treatment, Eardoc allows adjusting frequency for optimum results. Optimum frequencies vary between individuals depending on the size of the middle ear cavity and dimensions of the Eustachian tubes.
We recommend you advice your patient to gradually cover the entire frequency and intensity range until the optimum is found. Toddlers would use lower intensity and adults would use higher.

Why use Eardoc?

• Better alternative to try before inserting tubes.
• Avoided the miss use of antibiotics 
• Simple and easy treatment that can be used in your office or at patients  home
• Improves the likelihood of opening the canal
• Offers instant relief for ear pain
• Improved absorption of medication and reducing edema (and in some cases eliminates need for medication)
• Heals inflammation
• Lightweight, easy to use, low cost device
   

Eardoc Vs Ear tube surgery (myringotomy)

The conventional treatment for recurring middle ear infections is ear tube surgery, which involves making small incisions in the eardrum in order to insert a tube for drainage of fluids (infected or not infected) out of the middle ear. It is important to note that ear tube surgery places the patient at risk of infection and is efficient in only 2-5% of all cases.

 

Clinical studies - Eardoc

• Eardoc was tested in the Medical Faculty of the Szeged University to investigate the efficiency of the treatment of Chronic Seromucinous Otitis Media (CSOM) in order to overcome the conventional treatment of medication and insertion of ventilation tubes. Eardoc device operates by trasmitting vibrations, thereby providing a peristaltic movement to the mucosa of the Eustachian tube to provide air for the middle ear cavity.
• Efficiency was determined using  a Tympanometer and an independent online satisfaction survey was also conducted.
• 35 patients (70 ears) were assigned to the test group, 35 patients were assigned to the control group (70 ears).
• The tympanometry study group was made up of 35 patients (70 ears) ranging in age from 2 to 40 years, who were diagnosed with one or more of the following: Acute Tubal Occlusion (Serotympanum); Acute Otitis Media, CSOM.
• Out of the 35 patients 66 ears were tested and after five weeks six patients did not return to the clinic to perform the tympanogram test. They have reported by phone that they are no longer suffering from ear pain, and do not need any further treatment.
• Type “A” indicated a normal tympanic cavity; Type “B” indicated fluids in the middle ear; and Type “C” was a tympanic cavity effusion.

Results:

• The number of patients with malfunctioned Eustachian Tubes decreased from 39 to 2 ears after 6 weeks while the number of normal ears increased from 12 to 32 in the same time period. In the control group, there was no significant change.
• The patients in the study group showed a significant improvement with 95% of the users who said they had blocked ears, defined as a feeling of pressure and fullness in the ear (in case of infants the tympanomertic result assumes this sensation of blocked ears), showing a reduction in tube blockage. In the control group, however, there were no significant improvements.

Users Satisfaction

A survey was conducted on the Eardoc users to examine:
•    Do individuals feel pain relief after using the EARDOC ?
•    Satisfaction of the users from the way the device operates and ease of use

The results of our investigation indicate that the participants who use the Eardoc  felt relived after using the EARDOC

94 %    Reported that the pain was reliefed or eliminated.
94.3%  would use EARDOC device in the future if they suffered from ear pain.
35%     used Eardoc as they had pain from time to time.
26%     used Eardoc device due to otitis media.
23.5%  reported that Eardoc helped them to absorb the medication.

Eardoc had a 100% success in relieving ear pain or completely eliminating it with patients that suffered from accumulation of fluids!

83% of the participants would use the EARDOC in the future if they suffered from ear pain!

 79% of the otitis media and similar liquid related problems improved and even bring full relief after use of the eardoc!
