    Thats sydney time anyway ......you may want to check www.tvguide.com.au to see when it is on in your neck of the woods if you're interested

    Hi and no worries at all

    I watched it and was a bit dissapointed they didnt go into much depth to be honest. But i suppose thats to be expected with a half hour show that has lots of segements to get through

    They spent most of the time showing the N300, rather than the P100. The N300 sucks, rather than blows( ;D), and its for popping your ears whilst flying .........

    I think the N300 would also be handy for people who suffer pulsatile tinnitus. I find that if i pop my ears, the pulsatile tinnitus is relieved for a short while.

    It was good to hear that there was a precise valve in both products, which allows you to apply the correct amount of pressure with each pump, no matter how hard or soft you pump it.

    It seems like a really nice design too. You could take it in your pocket wherever you go, unlike the meniett which seems alot bulkier

    I watched it and was disappointed about the no detail. But i am sure if the judges had any idea what people go through, they would have given a little more time to it, and voted it as the winner......

    Don't know of anyone who has used it, and if anyone has, would be good to find out how they went with it.

    I have had one for a few months, quite happy with it - cynical at first, no difference but a couple of weeks ago ent found an infection in one ear and a blocked tube in the other - since those 2 problems fixed I can feel the entex doing something when I use it.

    I did'nt see it on the ABC but checked out the website.
    I'm a bit phased about how you can control the pressure
    from this gizmo? Too much pressure on the ear drum would
    be akin to say the pressure from a dive and we know that
    too much pressure on the ear drum can cause tinnitus and
    rupture an ear drum.
    My feeling is that if you cannot control the pressure without
    some built in safety mechanism then this device is useless to
    say the least. Maybe I'm being a bit critical, but I think that
    when it comes to our already damaged ears we cannot be blase.

    Gerg, the P100 has a precise valve in it, so no matter how hard or soft you "squeeze" it, the exact same amount of pressure is always applied.

    And interesting, Nairina. You're the 1st one on these boards that has used it, so keep us posted on what you think of it. I would like one, but spending 5 hunj when i;ve already got a meniett seems a bit pointless at this stage.

    it was around AU$300 I think; hard to say how effective such things are as with such and up and down illness who knows why we feel good at time and crappy at others. However the tubes and this device are all I am using at the moment, went of Serc a few months ago as it seemed to be making me worse.
