Everyone can relate to the discomfort of ear pressure. You might experience this while flying on an airplane or traveling on a fast moving elevator (especially when you have a cold or allergies). The pressure on the eardrums and the related discomfort can be unbearable. Not to mention the reduction in hearing from the pressure on the eardrums and the potential for more serious problems if the pressure isn't relieved. The EarPopper device is currently being used in practitioners' offices around the world for ear pressure relief and treating the problem at the source - The Eustachian Tube. The Eustachian Tube (ET) is the body's only mechanism for equalizing pressure and ventilating the space behind the eardrum (Middle Ear). The ET normally opens when you swallow or yawn. When functioning normally the ET keeps the middle ear ventilated and the pressure equalized.
