      Is this a scam? Seems like they don't tell much about the product and appears to promise too much? Too good to be true!?

      Eustachian tube dysfunction (from infection / labyrinthitis)
      If it's too good to be true, it probably is...
      It doesn't appear to be dangerous but I rather doubt that this will do anything for most people.

      There are tons of products/supplements out there like this, for tinnitus and other conditions. It says "FDA approved ingredients" (basically nothing poisonous) but the product itself doesn't appear to have been FDA approved, which would mean as a drug it would have had to go through trials or something to prove effectiveness, I think?

      The medicine will not even enter the cochlea correctly, if will get washed down the Eustachian tube.

      How is an ear drop suppose to enter the cochlea, it simply can't. BS

      No chance in hell this is going to treat tinnitus, menieres. The only scenario is a middle ear infection and this product is not trustworthy.

      It won’t get washed down the Eustachian tube/s unless the person has a perforated eardrum. Any liquid that one puts into their ear canal will remain there; it will not enter one’s middle ear. A lot of it will make its way back out.

      No doubt that it’s an obvious scam and there are far too many of these products about. It’s annoying that they can get away with it. Why apply for patents in place of actual clinical research?

      The reason? Because they know it’s total bullshit, and think by adding a couple of patents it somehow adds legitimacy to their product. It doesn’t at all. What would, however, is clinical evidence of efficacy, but all the scammers avoid this like the plague.

      It’s a total crock of shit, Greg!
