Linkface Introduces Dearbuds Ear Dehumidifier for Pets
Dearbuds Pet Edition is a new digital healthcare device that manages the humidity of a dog’s or cat’s ears with the end goal of prevent ear infections. Innovator Linkface, a company that develops bio signal sensors and wearable devices, is currently seeking financial support via its Kickstarter campaign.
Dogs and cats are more susceptible to ear infections than humans because of the L-shape of the ear canal and high humidity promotes the growth of harmful bacteria that can cause inflammation and infection.
Using light, heat and fast ventilation, the DearBuds device quickly removes the humidity trapped inside the ears. Humidity on the surface of the ear canals, such as sweat or water, is evaporated by the red light and precisely controlled heat while keeping the ears warm. The air flow may be gentle, but it rapidly circulates to expel the humid air out of the ears. DearBuds PE is not only time-efficient in removing humidity but also safe to use. When the humidity level reaches the optimal state, the device has been designed to automatically stop dehumidifying the ears without over drying. DearBuds PE will only operate within a safe range of temperature between 86-102°F (30-39°C) using the temperature sensor and will stop automatically if out of range.
DearBuds PE has applied noise reduction technology to stay in the low frequency range of 1Hz to 100Hz, which feels gentle and tolerable to the ears of pets. Considering the most dogs experience discomfort in the range of 13,500Hz – 20,000Hz, our device allows pet parents to easily dry their dogs’ ears without startling them in any way.
