June 5, 2019 updated by: Yuinvent Innovations Ltd.

EMD - A Non-invasive Device for Ventilating the Middle Ear Feasibility Study to Evaluate Efficiency and User Satisfaction

A feasibility study for evaluating efficacy and satisfaction is treated using a non-invasive device for middle ear ventilation.

The study is designed to test the device's effectiveness by encouraging the evacuation of fluid from the middle ear, aid in hearing improvement, pain relief and assessment of patient satisfaction with the use of the device.
