Earlens® - A new lens on life
The world’s first and only hearing solution to directly vibrate the eardrum
We are proud to be a provider of Earlens®, the world’s first and only hearing solution to directly vibrate the eardrum. Earlens delivers more complete sound than any acoustic hearing aid, and a bandwidth that is associated with more natural sound quality and better hearing in noise.
In Earlens, a Processor worn behind the ear sends an audio signal through the Ear Tip to a custom Lens that rests directly on the eardrum. When the eardrum receives the signal, it gently vibrates the eardrum to activate the ear’s natural hearing system.
Most complete sound: Earlens can provide meaningful amplification from 125 Hz all the way to 10 kHz, while conventional hearing aids have trouble amplifying outside of 550 Hz to 5.5 kHz. But research has shown that those lower and higher frequencies impact sound quality and speech understanding, especially in noisy environments.
Premium care: Earlens is the only nonsurgical solution that combines the care of an ENT physician and audiologist or hearing health professional. With Earlens, you will receive the highest level of hearing healthcare.
Advanced, custom technology: Each Earlens solution includes a custom Ear Tip and Lens to optimize comfort and fit based on an ear impression taken by your physician. After they are ready, your physician will place the Lens

Clarifix® FAQs
Patients’ most frequently asked questions regarding ClariFix® cryotherapy.
Clarifix®
Constant runny, stuffy nose? We have a treatment for that. Don’t just live with it, fix it!
More than 24 million Americans suffer from frequent inflammation of the nose called chronic rhinitis, which causes your nose to drip, run, and swell more than it should.
This can be caused by out-of-balance nasal nerves sending too many signals to the nose, telling it to drip, run and swell more than necessary. The nerves may be stimulated by allergens or irritants in the air, changes in weather, medications, certain foods, or chronic health conditions.
ClariFix® is a minimally invasive, in-office cooling treatment that allows doctors to fix chronic rhinitis. It’s convenient and provides lasting improvement!
The ClariFix® solution is the first and only FDA cleared device for adults with chronic rhinitis. ClariFix® cryotherapy goes to the root of the problem – the inflamed nasal lining and the underlying nerves – for lasting symptom relief.
The device delivers freezing cold temperatures to the out-of-balance nerves in the back of the nose, interrupting the signals and stopping the source of runny, stuffy nose symptoms.
A clinical study demonstrated a significant decrease in runny nose and congestion symptoms, with 4 out of 5 patients reporting long-lasting relief after ClariFix® cryotherapy!
Enjoy Life Without Tissues
After receiving ClariFix® cryotherapy, patients report a reduction in runny and stuffy nose symptoms.
Available In-Office
Treatment can typically be done in a doctor’s office with local anesthesia.
Minimal Downtime
Most patients return to normal activity the same day with minimal post-treatment care.
The most common side effects associated with ClariFix® cryotherapy are temporary increased congestion and transient pain or discomfort.

The place to go if you have a need for an ear, nose & throat specialist! Been going there about 3 years now for hearing aids. I've worked with Bob Froke and he is A-1!!! Knows what he's doing. Excellent work. Would recommend to anyone.

We are so happy we chose Midwest ENT for our daughter's hearing loss. Dr. Brewer is her audiologist and he is so great with her. He talks to her and has had her involved with her hearing aid from the very beginning. We never feel rushed and left feeling like we knew how to manage this but also left knowing we had a whole team supporting us should questions come up. Her ENT, Dr. Scott, is pretty great too! Would definitely recommend.
– Alyssa Anderson

I am so glad I went, it took me a long time to finally go in and get my hearing checked but now that I have my hearing aids it is a difference between night and day. Everyone there were so friendly and nice. Dr. Todd made sure I understood all my options. I can't thank you all for such a wonderful experience. I am very happy with the way everything went.

My mom is 96 years old...she has awesome hearing aids and very acommodating service. Her hearing is very important since she lost her eyesight through glaucoma 2 years ago. Midwest ENT is a friendly, highly organized office..I can just walk in and purchase mom's batteries and covers with no problem. If it's a bad day for mom to come from her nursing home to the office, rescheduling has always been done graciously! Easy access for mom's wheelchair. Thank you Midwest ENT!

Bob Froke has been my audiologist for over 20 years! It’s a blessing to have someone like Bob that you can trust. In the recent years, I was considering a cochlear implant. But thanks to Bob, he had me try the newest hearing aids available and it’s been successful!

I really appreciate Bob letting me try a pair for a couple weeks so I could see the difference in what I could expect when I do buy a pair.
