EarCheck is an advanced medical instrument which accurately detects the presence of middle ear fluid (i.e. otitis media with effusion) that may be associated with acute ear infection. Middle ear effusion may be associated with temporary hearing loss in some children. The device is intended to assist parents in determining when to seek medical attention. The instrument is designed for use in the home by parents and other caregivers on children from 6 months to young adult.

Hearing and Child Development. Many children with chronic middle ear fluid have some degree of temporary hearing loss. Fluid may persist in the middle ear for weeks to months after an episode of ear infection. Because your child does not appear to be sick, you may not realize the condition exists. The EarCheck Monitor can be helpful in identifying middle ear fluid that can impair your child's hearing.

The average hearing loss caused by middle ear fluid is similar to having earplugs in a child's ears. Prolonged hearing loss can lead to speech delays, reading delays, and learning disabilities, even after the condition is corrected. Chronic middle ear fluid resulting in hearing loss can have a long-term impact on your child's development.

Here is What Doctors Have to Say:

"Parents now have the ability to detect fluid in their child's middle ear, which often accompanies ear infection, by using the EarCheck Monitor. This simple and painless device takes the guesswork out of the decision whether or not to call a doctor." - Alan R.Greene, M.D. Department of Pediatrics Stanford University School of Medicine, Author of The Parents Complete Guide to Ear Infections.

"The EarCheck Middle Ear Monitor is a fast and easy way for parents to detect middle ear fluid, often associated with acute ear infection. Parents can also monitor for the presence of fluid remaining after infection has cleared up." - Jerome O. Klein, M.D. Professor of Pediatrics Boston Boston, Massachusetts.
