EarCheck Middle Ear Monitor Review

EarCheck Middle Ear Monitor Review

Posted by Catherine on March 12th, 2009

When I was a kid I can remember having plenty of ear infections and to this day I know when I am getting sick based on how my ears feel. Luke had so many ear infections as a baby that he had to have tubes put into his ears. So when The makers of EarCheck approached me about reviewing the EarCheck Middle Ear Monitor I thought it sounded like a good thing to try out with Monkey considering her parents ear issues.

Here is the is what the makers of EarCheck have to say. :

EarCheck Middle Ear Monitor is a first-of-its kind, clinically proven and physician-recommended, home- use device that accurately detects middle ear fluid, a key sign of an ear infection. The device helps parents identify when a child might have an ear infection, when it is necessary to seek medical attention and when the fluid is going away or gone.

What Evolving Mommy thinks:

Luckily Monkey has not had any ear infections to date, but I know that just because it has not happened does not mean it will not happen in the future.

After testing out the EarCheck with Monkey I have some thoughts. With one button I can honestly say that the EarCheck was easy to use. The display is easy to read and the results are straight forward and easy to understand, either fluid is unlikely, you should continue to monitor your child or you should consult a doctor. I like that the EarCheck is simple and does not require me as a parent to evaluate more information than I have to. Because we all know that when your child is sick or hurting you don’t have time to chart out numbers and compare graphs.

I was a little worried that it would be hard to keep Monkey still enough to try out the EarCheck, but she thought it was great fun. Mostly because the EarCheck makes a light chirping and beeping sound while it is scanning which she though was very entertaining.

Because we have not had to suffer through the dreaded ear infection yet buying a product like this never crossed my mind. The only worry that I have about the EarCheck is that it is battery operated. I never realized before we had Monkey how many things require batteries.

I do think this product would be a nice addition to any first aide or “sick kit” for your kids, especially if any of your children have trouble with ear aches. Having the EarCheck around would help you evaluate your child’s ear pain and help you decide if a doctors visit is needed and possibly saving you time and money.
