The Enttex P100 has been developed as an easy-to-use and cost-effective device to give relief to patients with Meniere's disease. It is simple and elegant, alternative to current large and heavy devices, its slim hand-held design allows users to carry the device in their pocket and does not rely on electricity to operate, so the user can apply treatment whenever the need arises. The Enttex P100 has been designed with operator ergonomics top-of-mind to encourage users to lead a more normal life.


The Enttex P100 is a breakthrough device for use in alleviating the symptoms of inner-ear conditions. Inner-ear problems are often characterized by attacks of vertigo, hearing loss and tinnitus. for example, when we are in the plane, it helps to relieve the pain caused by disturbance in the ear's balance. Press the centre diaphragm with your thumb to pump air pressure pulses. Regulated air pressure is then applied to the ear. The specially designed valve prevents the user from producing excessive pressure so that a safe pressre level is applied at all times. Whilst no cure has been identified to date, evidence shows that positive pressure pulse therapies can be offered to most sufferers. Its wrap around pressure tube and earpiece storage, with a smooth protective cover provides a safe and attractive alternative to current bulky therapy units. Additionally, the device has been designed to ensure only the correct amount of pressure is delivered to the inner ear, preventing negative pressure excursions and overpressure conditions.
