A custom ear plug that molds at home and stays put.
A heat-moldable plug that conforms to the exact shape of the ear canal, with magnetic attachment that prevents dislodgement during activity. Watertight seal and consistent sound attenuation. No impressions, no lab, no audiology visit.
An open tube is a direct path for water. Close it.
Ear tube placement is the most common surgery in the US: 700,000 procedures a year. Every one leaves a direct route for water into the middle ear, and reliable child-sized protection is hard to find: off-the-shelf plugs don't fit small ears, and professionally molded ones cost $75–$500 per ear and are outgrown in a season.
EarArmor plugs mold to a child's ear in minutes at home, designed by a pediatric ENT who places these tubes. A surgeon could even mold the plugs in the OR during the tube procedure itself.
No impressions. No lab. No office visit.
A heat-sensitive EVA blank softens in hot water, molds to the individual ear, and sets into a personalized, reusable plug, held in place by the same magnetic technology behind our hematoma system.
A short soak in hot water makes the EVA blank moldable.
Push gently into the outer ear and canal opening. It contours to the individual geometry.
It cools into a custom plug: watertight, magnetically secured, and remoldable as an ear grows.
One-size-fits-“most” doesn't fit anyone.
Standard plugs don't match the unique geometry of each ear canal: they leak water, attenuate sound inconsistently, and fall out mid-activity. A custom fit plus magnetic retention fixes all three.
Repeated water exposure drives swimmer's ear and, in cold water, surfer's ear. Magnetic retention keeps the seal through waves and laps. No other ear plug offers it.
A watertight, child-sized seal molded at home at a fraction of the cost of professionally molded plugs, and remoldable as they grow.
A planned magnet-free variant in soft EVA: the comfort of silicone plugs, but reusable and with no risk of dislodgement into the canal.
No plug on the market combines all three.
Custom molding. Water and sound protection. Magnetic retention. Each competitor offers at most one or two, and professionally molded plugs cost $75–$500 per ear.
In initial prototyping. A 700,000-procedure-a-year market waiting for a better answer.
We're seeking co-development, licensing, and investment partners to bring the plug system to market alongside the hematoma device.
Non-invasive, custom-moldable devices for ear protection and repair. Founded by an ENT surgeon.
