Earmate Cannula Cushions

For anyone wearing an over-the-ear nasal cannula around the clock, the tubing that loops behind the ears quickly becomes the problem no one warns you about. The steady pressure rubs, reddens, and eventually breaks the skin at the top of the ear — a small irritation that turns into a daily source of discomfort. Earmate cushions exist to solve exactly that.

The Earmate Cannula Cushion (0440) is a soft sleeve that slips over the cannula tubing where it rests on and behind the ear, distributing the load across a wider, padded surface instead of a thin length of hard tubing. The result is meaningful relief for oxygen users who wear their cannula continuously and have felt the raw spots that come with it. It doesn't change how the cannula delivers oxygen — it simply makes the part that touches you far kinder to the skin.

Buyers most often ask whether these cushions fit standard cannulas: they're made for the common over-the-ear nasal cannula tubing and slide into place without tools or adjustment to the flow. They're a practical choice for people managing sensitive skin, long wear times, or the pressure sores that can develop with prolonged use — and an easy comfort upgrade to keep on hand alongside spare tubing.

Earmate cushions pair naturally with the rest of your respiratory setup. Explore related supplies in our Respiratory category to round out cannulas, tubing, and oxygen accessories in a single order.
