Dogs' ears have a lot of wax; sticking something in the ear could impact that wax and cause a lot of problems. |

... Boy, I would hate to trust my dog to such a device. Dogs' ears have a lot of wax; sticking something in the ear could impact that wax and cause a lot of problems. If your dog has a lot of wax in his ears, you should look at doing some preventative maintenance. There should not be a huge amount of wax; no more than the usual lubricating/cleaning amount. We have had great success using boric acid powder (easily found in any drug store) to clear up ear infections that cause a large wax build-up in our dog's ears. We learned about it from our vet. As for their barking causing hearing damage to themselves, dogs, humans, and any variety of other mammals (and probably other animals) have a built-in "noise suppressor" that prevents a problem with that. You can see this easily yourself. Yell as loudly as you can, and then have a friend yell as loudly as they can near you. His yell will sound MUCH louder than yours. Pete |

I think that's not from any noise suppression effects as much as the directionality of the transmitter, though the effect is the same. Put your friend's ear right next to your ear, and THEN have him yell as loudly as he can. Compare that to yours. Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |

I've done it. [(having a friend shout with his near near mine)] Have you?
No. I'm speculating. If you've done it, I'll take your word for it. Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |
