PRESS RELEASE FROM: Sahara Design & Marketing Group, April 25, 2005

The Sahara DryEar is a safe and effective tool designed to dry the ear canal, removing water and moisture. This doctor recommended, high tech, non-medical portable ear drying treatment is perfect for all swimmers, water sport enthusiasts, hearing aid users and other individuals who suffer from ear canal infections.

“Infections occur when water and moisture remain in the ear canal allowing bacteria and fungi to grow,” states Dr. Hamilton P. Collins II, MD, creator of Sahara DryEar. “People who spend a lot of time in the water will easily develop such infections, as well as hearing aid wearers, due to the perspiration in the ear caused by the hearing aid.”

The new portable dryer is easy to use. Simply place the comfortable ear piece inside your ear after getting out of the water and turn it on to feel the soothing, warm air flow drying your ear. The cycle runs for 80 seconds, or you can remove the dryer when you feel your ear is dry. You can use Sahara DryEar after showering, swimming or any other water activity.

Features of Sahara DryEar include:

  • Customized computer chip, which maintains gentle airflow and dry cycle
  • PTC heating unit monitors that regulate a safe, warming heat range
  • Intake filter that keeps air flow clean
  • LED light that indicates the unit is on
  • Lithium ion rechargeable battery
  • UL approved battery charger
  • Five reusable color-coded earpieces
