Macks EarDryer Pro for Swimmer's Ear

Basic biology teaches that all living things need water to grow. Bacteria & fungi can grow in a moist ear canal. By using Mack’s® Ear Dryer Pro to keep your outer ear canals dry, you eliminate the moisture media where germs can grow, thus decreasing the possibility of getting ear infections like swimmer’s ear.

Mack’s® Ear Dryer Pro is an ear drying device and that’s all it claims to be. We don’t claim to prevent swimmer’s ear, surfer’s ear or any other outer ear infections. However, the Ear Dryer is designed to treat ear disorders by drying the ear canal. Medical articles that discuss the treatment of swimmer’s ear, surfer’s ear and outer ear infections emphasize the importance of keeping the outer ear canal dry. We guarantee that by properly using the ear dryer, your ear canals will be dried quickly and effectively.

The ear dryer has been designed with an 85 second cycle time that has been shown to be effective in drying most ear canals. When using Mack’s® Ear Dryer Pro, you will feel a cooling sensation as the water evaporates from your ear canal. Shortly after you feel the cooling evaporative process end, your ear canal should be dry. For most people, this will occur in about a minute. For persons with larger ear canals due to surgical procedures or other reasons, the process may require an additional drying cycle.

As often as you feel a need to remove water from your ears. People who suffer from outer ear infections and swimmer’s ear are advised to keep their ears dry as much as possible. Those engaged in water sports may dry their ear canals multiple times per day to prevent swimmer’s ear. Hearing Aid wearers often dry the sweat and moisture in their ear canals multiple times per day in order to maintain the best fit.

Each Mack’s® Ear Dryer Pro comes with 4 interchangeable, color-coded earpieces, so that each family member can have their own color-coded earpiece. This helps promote good hygiene and decreases the chance of spreading infections such as swimmer’s ear; similar to brushing your teeth with your own toothbrush.

The ear dryer emits warm air that is regulated close to your body temperature. This is important as your ears are the balance center of your body. By emitting warm air, the ear canals are dried. By regulating the temperature so that it reflects your body’s temperature, you are ensured a comfortable and effective drying experience. Other methods such as a hair dryer or similar blowing device are not custom made to the sensitive requirements of your ears. Time, temperature, air flow, and noise levels are not regulated with other devices, which can render them unsafe. Ear drops, while effective, may be considered less comfortable. The simplicity combined with the safety and effectiveness of the ear dryer makes it a truly effective and superior ear drying device.

Yes. The only portion of the ear dryer that comes in contact with your ear is the removable earpiece. Because you can remove the earpiece, it is very easy to clean after each use using warm soap and water or rubbing alcohol. In addition, your ear dryer comes equipped with 4 different-colored earpieces, so that each member of your family can use their own earpiece.

Warning: If you are experiencing pain in your ears and you use Mack’s® Ear Dryer Pro, be sure to thoroughly clean the earpiece with hot, soapy water and rubbing alcohol before using it in your other ear. This will reduce the potential of infecting your healthy ear by using an unclean earpiece in your non-infected ear.

Yes. Mack’s® Ear Dryer Pro is safe for daily use. Mack’s® Ear Dryer Pro was designed by a medical doctor that specializes in treatment of the ear, known in the medical field as an Otolaryngologist or ENT (ear, nose and throat doctor). It is designed to be the safest, most effective, most comfortable, and most convenient method for drying the ear canal where bacteria and fungi can grow. In addition, the American Academy of Otolaryngology, the world’s largest organization representing specialists who treat the ear, nose and throat, suggests using ear plugs to keep water out of the ears, or drying wet or moist ear canals to help prevent the painful ear infection known as Swimmer’s Ear (or otitis externa). The operating sound level of the ear dryer is well below the safe noise level threshold of 85 decibels set by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration). Other ear drying methods have been known to be too loud, too strong and to cause burns. Designed to precisely regulate the cycle time, temperature, noise level and airflow through a custom-designed, soft rubber exhausting tip, you can feel safe using Mack’s® Ear Dryer Pro.

Yes, however children under 5-years of age should be supervised by an adult. Similar to teaching a young child to use a toothbrush, the key concerns with small children are:

1. Making sure they don’t apply unnecessary pressure and hurt themselves.
2. Making sure they use it long enough to actually dry the ear.
3. Making sure they don’t damage the device by dropping it or getting it wet.

The patented Mack’s® Ear Dryer Pro has a customized computer chip which directs the heater and fan to blow a regulated flow of warm air into the ear canal. The color-coded earpiece channels the warm air into your outer ear canal. Each earpiece is specially designed to exhaust the airflow from the ear canal along with the evaporating moisture. In most cases all the moisture trapped in your ear will evaporate in about a minute, leaving your outer ear canal dry and safe.

Yes, Mack’s® Ear Dryer Pro is safe to use when middle ear ventilation tubes are in place because the ear dryer introduces only warm dry air into the ear canal. The ear dryer does not however dry the tubes themselves or any water that may have been introduced into the tubes. It only dries the outer ear canal itself.

Yes, the ear dryer introduces only warm dry air into the middle ear or mastoid bowl, and it is the retained moisture that can cause problems for these individuals. However, the drying process may take more than one cycle to completely dry the ear canal.

For most people there are no side effects. However, a very small number of people who have extremely sensitive ear canals and certain diseases of the inner ear may experience a brief episode of dizziness when using the Ear Dryer. All of these occur in individuals who have some sort of underlying and/or pre-existing disease:  The most common is ACTIVE Menier’s Disease (quiescent Menier’s is very rarely effected) where the person is already dizzy, patients with perilymphatic fistulas, followed by patients who have had a surgical procedures where the labyrinth has been exposed to a greater degree than normal:  canal up or down mastoidectomy, transmastoid endolymphatic shunt, and transmastoid removal of an acoustic neuroma.  It is also possible, though highly unlikely, that dizziness from other metabolic diseases could be exacerbated. If you experience this dizziness, cease using the Ear Dryer immediately and please report the incident to our customer service team.

Mack’s® Ear Dryer Pro is not a cleaning device in any way. Its sole function is to remove trapped water from swimmers’ ears, surfers’ ears and moisture from the ear canal after showers, hearing aid use, exercise or any other activity that results in ear moisture.
