Ear Dryer

My gym has an indoor pool to use year round and I love to take a swim once per week to vary my workout routine. Then, one day, I got water in my ear and when I tried to drain it, I couldn’t get the water out! For the next 3 weeks, I was having a horrible time with trapped water in my ear. After purchasing a whole bunch of products to help my ear dry out, there was still that painful full, sloshing feeling along with a loud hissing and impaired hearing. It was extremely distracting and I was in this irritating situation for 3 whole weeks before I gave up and saw a doctor. I was desperate. Finally, I went to the Doc and after relieving the pressure in my ear, he told me to get this nifty little device. His wife is a swimmer and uses the Mack’s Ear Dryer as well as the Mack’s Ear Plugs, to keep her ears clean and safe. I ordered it that very night and when it came it really helped me to dry out a soggy and irritated ear. Dr. said to keep it in my gym bag and thoroughly dry my ears every time I went into the pool. From now on, I'll always have it handy whenever I swim. If I’d had it before I could have saved myself a few weeks of suffering! I tried swimmers ear drops, but that complicated my problem by adding still MORE liquid into my ear. I SO regretted adding to the problem because I felt so much worse when I did that. I also purchased one of those bulbs that you squeeze and it shoots air into your ear, but that product didn’t work for me. The difference in Mack’s Ear Dryer is that it directs a gentle, steady flow of HEATED air into the ear canal, effectively drying out the ear. It works exactly like a hair dryer, except tiny with minuscule nozzles that allow air to go directly where it needs to go. And because it is a gentle stream of air and not some kind of device, I’m not afraid of injuring my delicate ear canal! It is a comfortable, safe, and effective remedy! By the way, this company also has a cool set of aquatic earplugs that can help prevent this issue in the first place. I also got those and between the two of these items, I hope I’ll never get that nightmarish water-logged feeling again! Get the earplugs here: Macks Soft Flanged Aqua Block Earplug, Purple, 2 Pair

This is my fourth attempt at this review. I keep losing what I have typed due to my own fault so this is going to be extremely short. First of all, if you are having a wet ear problem BUY Mack's Ear Dryer. My problem is caused by a chronic infection that finally perforated my eardrum and therefore makes treatment of my ear extremely difficult. My last doctor, one of many suggested that I purchase Mack's Ear Dryer. He told me that his patients are quite pleased with how it works. I concur it is an excellent product and does a great job keeping my ear dry. I wear a hearing aid and because of my infections I have not been able to use it hardly at all in over two years. Since I have started using Mack's Ear Dryer I have been able to use my hearing aid and wireless Blu-Tooth headsets. There are a few things to keep in mind: The instructions for installing the batteries are not all that clear, so simply make sure that the negative side of the AA batteries is against the springs in the battery compartment. I know, its is common knowledge, but the instructions seem to indicate otherwise. It takes about fifteen to twenty seconds before the air from the ear dryer warms up. If it does not dry your ear completely the first time if you start a second cycle right away the air will be warm when you start. If for any reason you might have a problem with your Mack's Ear Dryer, please call them. I had difficulty with my first unit with it making an unusually high pitched screech and after a short chat to make sure as to where the problem was then sent me a new one without cost. I am quite pleased with this product and the service that is given for it. If you need it, get it, you will not regret it.

I’ve been getting recurrent outer ear infections (of the canal, ie. Swimmer’s Ear) on my right side, presumably as that ear canal is narrow & curved, which traps water, plus I’m on immunosuppressant medications which make me more susceptible to infections. I’ve tried drying drops, but they cause irritation when used daily as alcohol dries out the skin. Plus I’ve tried other drops, like ones containing vinegar, but those are better suited to treat an early mild infection (or prevent one), and don’t address the root cause. My doctor recommended using a hair dryer after showering to aid in drying my ear canal, but that is loud and not very effective as you can’t get very close. So I tried this ear dryer. It’s very mild, such so that you would barely know it’s on if not for the fan noise (you can only feel air when it’s inserted in the ear, not when you hold your hand up to it), but it does help a bit. I usually need 2 cycles (of 85 seconds each, after which it automatically shuts off) to make any difference, and I use it after towel drying, then inserting my pinky finger into my ear wrapped in a Kleenex tissue. Pros: Provides some ear drying benefit. Quick. Easy to use (press button, insert in ear, wait for auto shut off). Not too loud. Doesn’t dry out the ear like drops do. No beep (like apparently some other models do). Folds in half to protect the ear piece. Doesn’t require a power outlet. Cons: Not super powerful (although that would likely be unsafe). Takes 4 AA batteries which I’ve read only provide about 50 cycles of power, and rechargeables aren’t recommended, so it will require a lot of batteries over time (expensive and bad for environment).

Using this after every surf and loving it. Absolute recommendation! Ever since we moved to the subtropics our daily surf sessions gave me repeated ear canal infections. I didn't have than in colder climates (don't get me wrong; I am not complaining about water, right.) Mack's Ear Dryer fixed this problem for me: surf, quick fresh water shower, blowing ears dry and done. Even when no fresh water at hand, never had an ear infection since blowing my ears dry. Still would love to see some improvements: For once, I feel Mack's Ear Dryer loves to munch away my batteries. Granted, heating air costs energy. Just wondering if an internal battery with a USB charger would be an option? Or at least USB backup power, f.e. of my powerbank, when the 3 AAA go flat on a trip. Other than the easy to solve energy problem, we would have loved the option of different settings. Low, mid and strong air flow and also low-mid-high heating. This would not just be a gimmick to play around; In my wife's smaller ear canals the air flow is good to rather intense, whereas in my larger dog ears it just barely is enough; would love the option to up the airflow by +50 or +100% percent. Despite these two points for improvement, Mack's Ear Dryer saved me from several infections and making my surf more joyful injustice. Thank you!

I get swimmers ear every time I’m in the water. This ear dryer prevents it better than any drops I’ve used. After a few minutes It has an auto shut off and the ear canal is completely dry. I like the warm sensation and the healing red light therapy especially since the area is sensitive due to so many ear infections.

私は真珠腫性中耳炎で3度手術をしており、それで中耳？を深く掘った影響で専門用語でいうcavity problemを起こして、耳垂れが出るようになってしまいました。 耳が乾燥していると耳垂れの量は減るので、綿棒できれいにしながら、ハンディ扇風機で耳を乾かしてました。 もう少し専門的な器具はないのかなと思って見つけたのがこれです。 音も耳に突っ込むので、ウルサイと言えばウルサイが、扇風機やドライヤーよりはかなりマシです。 緩やかな温風が出る仕組みになっています。 自分にドンピシャな商品だと思いますので、また効果を追記レビューしたいと思います。

Fonctionne très bien. Je n'ai pas eu d'otite externe depuis que je l'utilise. Une étoile en moins pour l'absence de batterie rechargeable. (Des piles !? En 2022 ?!)

Para quienes tenemos problemas de audición, por ende tenemos detalles con los oídos, y en mi caso con el cerumen también. Así que después de bañar lo aplico en cada oído y hemos estado super bien Tuve una otitis media y me ayudó muchísimo También lo utilizamos con la familia, mi hija de 3 años y mi esposo Vale completamente la pena GRACIAS POR EXISTIR
