Non-surgical option for chronic ear infections
Earflo is a next-generation autoinflation device cleverly disguised as a child's sippy cup. Designed to be used by children as young as one, Earflo treats chronic ear infections during normal drinking with no complex coordination required. Nasal pressurization is precisely controlled with a pressure sensor and successful treatment indicated with LED lights.1

Clinical Studies
The Earflo prototype device has been evaluated in a clinical study to be presented at the AAO-HNS and AAP Annual Conference 2024, which demonstrated that 85.7% of children under watchful waiting had an instantaneous clinical improvement after using the device for a single session, and that 88.2% of patients had improved hearing after four weeks of daily use.1
Treatment Recommendation
The Earflo device can be used as soon as otitis media with effusion (OME) is diagnosed and during the watchful waiting period. Treatment can be done at home daily to potentially resolve OME, restore hearing, and avoid recurrence of OME. Some children see an immediate effect after the first treatment whereas others require treatment of 2-4 weeks, and potentially longer term periodically to prevent recurrence.1
Peer-Reviewed Conference Presentations
The team behind Earflo presented the results of clinical studies at multiple conferences, demonstrating the effectiveness of the device to peers in pediatrics and otolaryngology specialties.
