.caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: -15px; } It isn't always easy to tell if your child has an ear infection--especially since symptoms can vary from child to child. But if left untreated, ear infections can cause hearing loss and even learning disabilities. EarCheck Middle Ear Monitor helps takes the guesswork out of ear infections by indicating the likelihood of fluid in your child's inner ear--a key sign of ear infection. Designed for children six months old and up, this monitor helps parents know when to consult the doctor.



Help take the guesswork out of ear infections with Earcheck Middle Ear Monitor. View larger.

The handheld monitor is easy to use and read. View larger. Reliable Results In Seconds
Earcheck is designed for a child's sensitive ears, sending pleasant sound waves (chirps) down the ear canal. To use the monitor, first have your child sit upright. Then place the tip of the EarCheck in the outer canal. Press the scan button to obtain a reliable reading and, in seconds, the echo of the sound is analyzed to determine the presence of middle ear fluid.

The easy-to-read light sensor indicates when to consult a doctor. If a child is diagnosed with an ear infection, you can monitor whether the fluid is gone and the ear infection is clearing up.

Designed With Physician Accuracy
Earcheck features the same patented proven acoustic reflectometry technology used by thousands of physicians since 1997 and a technique recommended by the American Academics of Pediatrics and Family Physicians. Earcheck has also been FDA cleared and UL approved for your peace of mind.

Earcheck is not indicated for children with ear tubes (ventilation tubes), water in the outer ear, known perforation or rupture of the ear drum, facial or ear deformities, visible drainage of pus or blood from the outer ear, or children under 6 months old.

Is worth the money!!

I received my earcheck and it quit working right away so I called the company and was told it was a manufacturing defect and they sent me a new one immediately (I had it in 2 days).
My 9 month old has been a little cranky today so I checked his ear and it showed to monitor (#2) and the other ear showed see doctor (#3) sure enough he had an ear infection! I think it is money well spent! Especially for this mom of 4!


Unreliable

If you need to monitor ear fluid, I think it may be more useful to get a traditional otoscope and learn how to interpret what you're seeing (there are a couple available to the general public). My unit arrived in non-working condition. The customer service rep. overnighted a replacement - and the new unit works. However, we've had occasion to see an audiologist & doctor and compare notes with the results the product gave. The results are inconsistent. I had a green light on the unit the same day my son showed fluid problems via video otoscope. I know a hearing/education professional who said she stopped using this unit because it was inaccurate. I asked my pediatrician what she thought - and she said, "red does mean there is definitely fluid, but green and yellow aren't necessary accurate." So, I wish I'd saved my money. Save yours or buy an otoscope that let's you see into the ear and interpret the results yourself. Good luck with those ears!
