Creating a new standard in auricular ear care
Non-invasive devices for treating and preventing ear injury.
EarArmor's moldable magnetic hematoma treatment system is a non-invasive, custom-moldable device designed to prevent cauliflower ear deformity.

01The products
Two devices built on one moldable magnetic technology
Both products are built on the same core technology: heat-moldable EVA that conforms to the individual ear, held by magnetic force. One treats an injury; the other prevents harm.
Moldable Magnet System
Non-invasive magnetic compression that molds to the ear's exact contours after hematoma drainage, restoring pre-injury form without sutures through cartilage.
Custom Moldable Magnetic Ear Plugs
An at-home custom ear plug: watertight, sound-attenuating, and magnetically anchored against dislodgement. No impressions, lab, or audiology visit.
02The platform
Heat-moldable EVA and magnetic force, applied across a product line
Heat-moldable EVA plus magnetic force is a platform, not a single product. The system that compresses a drained hematoma is the same system that anchors a custom ear plug, and it extends naturally to a broader pipeline of ear health devices.
Heat-moldable EVA
Softens in hot water and conforms to the individual ear.
Magnetic force
Paired magnets deliver compression or secure retention.
A platform, not a single product
Hematoma treatment, custom ear plugs, and a broader pipeline of ear health devices.
-
01
Molds to individual anatomy
Softened in hot water for under a minute, the EVA conforms to every ridge and hollow of the ear, adult or child, then sets on cooling.
-
02
Magnetic force does the holding
Paired magnets deliver constant, uniform compression for hematoma treatment, or secure retention that keeps a plug in place through any activity.
-
03
Non-invasive and reusable
No sutures through cartilage, no disposables. Devices are remoldable and designed for repeat use.
03The opportunity
A market with no custom-moldable option
4.38M
estimated addressable patients for auricular hematoma, US & international
$263–526M
serviceable available market for the hematoma system, by pricing strategy
700K
ear tube procedures each year in the US, the most common surgery performed
~1mo
estimated FDA timeline for Class I device registration
04Clinician-founded
“I wanted a non-invasive option that restores the ear to its original form, and an alternative to the bolster: the stitches, the pain, the infection risk.”
Dr. Donald Solomon is Director of Pediatric Otolaryngology at Cooper University Health Care, and a former college wrestler and youth wrestling coach. After years of draining hematomas and placing ear tubes, he built the devices his patients kept asking for and the market never delivered. The system has already shown success on multiple patients in his clinic.
Meet the founder and team05Why it matters
“Let your results tell the story, not your ears.”
Nine-time Pennsylvania state champion and high school freshman Abby Guzzo has perfect ears and she aims to keep them that way. She will mold her EarArmor auricular hematoma treatment device to her ears pre-season so that it is available should she develop an ear hematoma.
Girls' high school wrestling is the fastest growing sport in America, and a new generation of athletes is deciding cauliflower ears aren't the trophy. That shift is the cultural tailwind behind EarArmor's auricular hematoma device.
