FDA approved – this novel system puts an end to the traditional ear swab

More than 35 million Americans have to deal with compacted earwax, according to studies by SafKan Health. This medical device company has come up with an ingenious device that will automate ear cleaning without the traditional flush of warm water going everywhere. Gone are the day of filling up syringes and praying you hit the right spot; with the new OtoSet, primary care physicians will be able to take care of patients in no time, with no mess.
No more compacted earwax
For those who hated having their ears washed the traditional way –who hasn’t felt that unpleasant vertigo will having their ear canals filled with tepid water at the practitioner’s?–, and those who want to keep their ears sparkling clean but know better than try to use cotton swabs, the OtoSet is the best of both worlds.
The best thing? It is even FDA approved, so it is already available on the market as one of the safest medical devices for ear cloning. These clunky gadget that resembles some Beats by Dre headphones will leave your ears squeaky clean!
How does the OtoSet work?
The OtoSet was created to meet primary care doctors’ demand for a device that could safely, efficiently, and cleanly tackle impacted earwax—the top culprit behind conductive hearing loss. Because, let’s face it, nobody wants to deal with sticky situations when it comes to hearing!
If you are curious about how the OtoSet exactly works, here are the ropes:
- Pop Them On
The OtoSet looks like a pair of futuristic headphones. You place them snugly over your ears, but instead of blasting music, they’re ready to tackle earwax. Think of them as a DJ for your ear health—mixing cleaning power instead of beats. - Liquid Magic
Inside the device, a special liquid solution starts flowing into your ear canal. This liquid is designed to break down stubborn earwax, kind of like soap cuts through grease. It’s gentle but gets the job done. - Suction Power
At the same time, the device activates a built-in suction system. It gently vacuums out the softened wax and liquid, so your ears feel cleaner without the mess. It’s like a tiny car wash for your ears—but with no risk of a wet head! - See the Results
On each side of the headphones, there are transparent containers where you can see the wax being collected. It’s oddly satisfying, like watching a lint trap after doing laundry. Gross? Maybe. Fascinating? Definitely. - All Done
In just a few minutes, your ears are sparkling clean, and you didn’t even have to mess with cotton swabs. The disposable pads used in the process are swapped out for the next session, keeping things hygienic.
And there you have it—an easy, high-tech way to banish earwax while keeping your ears happy and healthy!
The importance of crystal clear hearing
The American Academy of Otolaryngology notes that too much or hardened earwax affects 1 in 10 kids, 1 in 20 adults, and over a third of older adults. “It might seem like a small issue, but it’s one of the top reasons people come in with hearing-related concerns,” explained Dr. Seth Schwartz, an otolaryngologist who oversaw the latest revision of the earwax impaction guidelines.
According to Healthline, “Impacted earwax can have surprising effects on mood and even brain function.” Dr. Maria Torroella Carney, Division Chief of Geriatric Medicine at Northwell Health, added, “When hearing loss causes you to feel disconnected, you’re not forming memories, retaining them, or keeping your brain active. This can contribute to cognitive decline or make existing memory loss worse.” Who knew a bit of earwax could mess with more than just your earbuds?
Where can I use the OtoSet?
The OtoSet Ear Cleaning System is designed specifically for healthcare professionals, so you won’t find it for personal use at home. Instead, you can experience its ear-cleansing magic at clinics, hospitals, or practices where doctors or audiologists offer earwax removal services. Your general doctor can also refer you to a nearby healthcare facility equipped to provide earwax removal with advanced tools like the OtoSet.
