In each telephone interview, the parent will be asked whether the subject had any unscheduled visits to a health care provider since previous contact, and if so, for what reasons; a list of possible reasons for such visits, including ‘ear infection’ among other common pediatric illnesses, will be read to the parent to ensure that all visits will be reported. Adherence will be assessed during every monthly interview, by asking the parent how often the subject used the EP device since the last interview: “All or nearly all of the prescribed doses”; “More than half of the doses”; “Less than half”; “None or nearly none”. The Eustachian Tube (ET) is the bodys only mechanism for equalizing pressure and ventilating space behind the ear drum (middle ear). While occasional ear popping is normal and often resolves on its own, persistent or recurrent symptoms may warrant attention.

Painful popping, ear fullness or muffled hearing is often caused by Eustachian tube dysfunction,” says Dr. The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. The EarPopper® ear relief device balances pressure in the middle ear by delivering a safe, constant stream of air into the nasal cavity. Ear popping occurs when the Eustachian tube opens and balances the pressure in your ear with the atmospheric pressure.This is consistent with previous dosing which showed no adverse events and an excellent safety profile [ 5, 6]. uk is owned and provided by Health Pharm Leciester Limited a company incorporated in England and Wales under the company number 6072635. Health Conditions: Colds, allergies, sinus infections, and adenoid enlargement can contribute to excessive ear popping. Influenza vaccinations have been proven interventions in reducing the incidence of AOM in children, especially during influenza season. The questionnaire we use is the Otitis Media Outcome–22 (OMO-22) based on the study by Richards et al.

Likert data points will be recorded from the OMO-22 form and compared using the Mann Whitney U test. Left untreated, OM can result in serious complications such as hearing loss, perforation of the eardrum, or infectious spread to the inner ear and the brain. Serial EarPopper sessions were performed twice weekly for 2–12 weeks, and outcome was assessed using patients’ reports. This is a randomized controlled clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of a non-invasive middle ear aeration device, the EarPopper device (EP). 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 EP device is 510(K) regulated (510(K) Number K073401) as a non-surgical, non-drug related treatment for middle ear pressure problems such as: Middle ear fluid (Otitis Media with Effusion), Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, Temporary hearing loss, Ear pain and pressure caused by air travel, Ear fullness caused by colds, allergies and sinusitis. Many episodes of OME resolve spontaneously within 3 months, but about 30% to 40% of children have recurrent OME and 5% to 10% of episodes past 1 year or longer. By regularly aerating the middle ear, we hypothesize that the EarPopper device will be an effective prophylactic measure to reduce incidence of AOM in children with recurrent OM. We have also added soothing plant extracts; chamomile for its relaxing properties, peppermint leaf for its stomach soothing qualities, marshmallow root to protect against a dry mouth and throat, as well as adding vitamins and zinc to support immunity. The balloon catheter is guided to your Eustachian tube where it is inflated and held for several minutes.
