How it started…
When our oldest daughter turned two she started to get ear infections more often. Our day to day wasn’t too affected, but bath time became a nightmare. If any water got into her ear it was tough to get it out, and to help her with the pain she felt.
At first we tried ear plugs, but it was difficult to get them to fit and sometimes inserting them into the ear was just as painful as the water. Other products got in the way of washing her hair, or didn’t fully cover her ear. We set out to create something that was quick to put on, didn’t go into the ear, and allowed us to wash her hair as best as possible. And as a bonus, something she would enjoy and look forward to wearing!
And so… Ear Mutts™ Protective Ear Covers were born!
“By age 3, about 80% to 90% of children have had at least one ear infection.”
“While new-onset infections become less common as children reach ages 4 and 5, kids experience at least one middle ear infection by the time they pass through the early childhood window.”
