Product Review: Pays for itself in just one co-pay!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this after finding out that my son had double ear infections (with NO outward signs) on 2 different occasions. On the other side, times I thought he might've had an infection and made a dr appointment, he was fine. I figured even if it didn't work, it was worth the money to give it a try. I was surprised by how easy it is to use.
The scope is very easy to see through. It does take a little practice (I recommend looking through while your children's ears are fine to get used to what they're supposed to look like). I believe it runs on 2 batteries, but they have lasted so long I don't remember. There are 3 different sized probes to see through any ear. As I've mentioned above, this has saved me a few trips to the doctor, so it has easily paid for itself. I would recommend these scopes to anyone - especially to new parents.
Product Review: Good product, great price!
Summary: 4 Stars
Great item if you have a child with recurrent ear infections. The product is well worth the inexpensive price. Product Review: professional qualtiy
Summary: 5 Stars
This was ordered for a nurse on our staff who wanted an instrument for home use, but did not want to pay for a professional quality otoscope. She liked it so much she uses it in her work now and has ordered another one for home. Several of our other nurses have also ordered this as they say the view is as good as the professional units but that they prefer this unit because of its smaller size and lighter weight.Product Review: Absolutely wonderful product!

I am amazed how well this little otoscope works. Actually I never expected it to work as well as it does considering it's price. I can see the eardrum as clear if not clearer with this otoscope as the one I paid over $300 for that I use in my clinic. I bought the otoscope mainly so I could have an inexpensive one to carry in my coat pocket when I make hospital rounds. I have been so impressed with the functionality I now find myself using it at my clinic as well since it is more light weight and convenient than my larger metal professional model. The only draw back I have found is that the disposable specula are a little more difficult to place on the otoscope than they are with my professional model.

Product Review: Great concept, simple to use, but poor execution
Summary: 1 Stars
The item is beautifully simple and a great product in theory. But it illuminates just about a few millimeters too short to be of use. I tried it on DH and he tried it out on me, but we got similar results. You could see the inner ear canal clear as day and get more clarity on earwax than you would ever hope. But the eardrum itself looks like a slightly illuminate white thing just barely out of reach of the otoscope, no matter how far you stick it in (and quite honestly -- it's not comfortable nor recommended if you push it that far). I thought maybe it was because it was that our adult sized ear canals were just a bit too long and tried it out on my sleeping 2 year old. I had the same problem, but compounded by much more earwax in her ears.
I really had high hopes for this product. :o(
