Earflo (EarBuddy Pty Ltd) is the 2023 WA Innovator of the Year Awards' Rio Tinto Emerging Innovation Category winner for their innovative medical device developed to treat young children who suffer from chronic ear infections at home and restoring their hearing. 

Instead of undergoing “grommet” surgery, which is the usual treatment option, the EarFlo device offers a non-surgical alternative.
