FirmClear FAQs

Far infrared (FIR) is a safe and natural form of light within the infrared spectrum. It’s invisible to the human eye and is often associated with the feeling of warmth. FIR in the form of light can penetrate deep into the body’s tissues.

When FIR penetrates the body, it causes molecules to vibrate and therefore transfers the energy to our inner body. The molecules vibration generate gentle warmth, and help increase blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation.

Good blood circulation is essential for good health, including the inner ear. FIR’s ability to enhance microcirculation may help alleviate symptoms of hearing-related discomforts. The gentle warming effect can also promote relaxation of tense muscles around the ear.

While research specifically on FIR for hearing is ongoing, studies have shown FIR’s positive effects on blood circulation, inflammation, and cellular function. These are all factors that can impact inner ear health. We are continually researching the effects of FIR on hearing, and will update our site with any newly found information.

FirmClear is uniquely designed as an earmuff, embedding the patented FirmFocus component providing targeted delivery of FIR energy directly to the ears. The FirmFocus design combines the specially formulated materials and emitting chamber to generate magnified and focused far infrared rays of a specific spectrum of wavelengths most beneficial to the wellness of our body. This targeted application is essential for addressing hearing-specific concerns.

Other FIR devices, such as lamps or mats, provide more general body coverage. They usually require irradiation from a distance (lamps) or generate very low amount of far infrared (mats, blanket, garment). FirmClear can deliver significant amount of far infrared (18 mW, 250 mW/cm² at emitter tip) at body temperature.

These therapies differ in their wavelengths and penetration depths. FIR penetrates the deepest, reaching several centimeters into the tissue, generating warmth and improving circulation. NIR penetrates less deeply, a few millimeters to a centimeter, and is often used for outer tissue repair. Red light therapy primarily affects surface tissues and is used for skin rejuvenation.

FIR’s deep penetration and ability to improve microcirculation make it particularly well-suited for the wellness of inner ear. FirmClear’s focused and targeted wavelengths FIR rays that penetrate into the tissue and deliver warm energy via molecule resonance. This is a safe and effective way for ear healthcare, that is why we design with such unique FIR technology.

While FirmClear is designed to be used independently, it is always best to consult with your healthcare provider before combining it with other light therapies.

We recommend any adult with hearing discomfort or impairment, due to aging, exposure to loud noises, pressure, or other acute or long term factors, to use FirmClear for the wellness maintenance of the ears.

FirmClear’s FIR emissions can help improve blood circulation to the inner ear, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation and general health of delicate tissue, which may contribute to relief of hearing related problems such as ringing discomfort, difficulty in noisy environments.

Regular use of FirmClear may contribute to long-term improvements in inner ear circulation and overall hearing health.

Individual results may vary. Some users may experience immediate relief, while others may require consistent use over several weeks to notice significant improvements.
Yes, clinical trials using FirmClear technology were conducted in prestigious research hospital. You can contact FIRMomentum for more reference information.
We provide an evaluation in the companion App, which will recommend a schedule for you based on the evaluation results. FirmClear is programmed to irradiate FIR for 30 minutes in each session (per ear), and will limit the usage once per day. Individual results may vary, so it’s important to find a routine that works best for you.
FirmClear is designed for safe and gentle use. However, we recommend following the recommended usage guidelines and consulting with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns.
FirmClear’s far infrared is generally harmless to your ear. The mild warmth you feel is normal, due to earmuff encapsulation and diffused temperature from the far infrared emitting component. Some users may experience feeling thirsty. If you have wound in the outer ear or ear canal, use with caution and stop if feeling irritated.
Hearing aids users can use FirmClear, but you must remove the hearing aids devices before using FirmClear. If you have cochlear implants, do not use FirmClear.
FirmClear is a non-invasive, drug-free solution that leverages the natural benefits of FIR energy. The patented FirmFocus generates magnified and focused FIR rays, and the earmuff design targets directly to the ear canal and surrounding tissues, maximizing its potential benefits.
