Ocean Melody

Otitis media affects around 709 million people globally each year, with over half of cases in children under five. Repeated infections can cause 20–30 dB hearing loss, while persistent fluid increases the risk of delayed speech development. Early detection and consistent monitoring are key to preventing long-term harm, yet traditional testing often requires invasive, costly, and uncomfortable hospital visits—especially challenging for young children.
Ocean Melody is a home-use device that makes middle ear screening accurate, non-invasive, and child-friendly. Using acoustic reflection technology, it analyzes sound wave patterns in the ear canal to assess middle ear conditions. Its conch-inspired form and portable design invite children to engage naturally with the process.
Replacing harsh test sounds with calming ocean noise and soft LED rhythms, Ocean Melody reduces fear and encourages cooperation, making testing feel playful and reassuring. The companion app records test data, supports parental decision-making, and connects families to shared insights. Rental services from medical partners further improve accessibility and promote sustainable use.
By combining reliable technology with empathetic design, Ocean Melody offers a gentle, effective approach to pediatric ear care.
