Guide Review - Mack's EarDryer - A Rechargeable Ear Dryer for Swimmers

I tried the EarDryer for about a week, and had a variety of different age swimmers use it to dry their ears, too. The verdict - easy - the EarDryer works. It was easy to use, the ear pieces were easy to clean, and the whole thing is small and light, making it easy to bring to the locker room.

To use the EarDryer, you put on a clean ear piece, push the start button, and put the ear piece in your ear. The EarDryer ear piece sits against your outer ear, you hear a soft whrrrr, then feel a gentle warm stream of air blowing into your ear. After about 1-minute, the device switches itself off - and your ear is dry.

If you or someone you know has problems getting the water out of their ears or has reoccuring swimmers ear problems, the EarDryer may be the answer. It is a great way to get the water out of a swimmers ear without twisting and pulling on the ear or tilting the head and jumping up and down. The EarDryer is simple, fast, and reliable.
