Product Review: Can't get it in far enough
Summary: 3 Stars
Maybe it's just user error, but I can't get even the smallest head in deep enough to see the ear drum without my 5 year old yelling in pain. The tip, which is hollow, gets filled up with earwax as you push it in and blocks your view of the eardrum too. Even after cleaning the ear with a Q-tip.Product Review: Did not expect such a good result
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an amazingly useful small item most people who are careful and confident about self "nursing" and care should have. As the prduct itself indicates this is basically a magnifier with a led light. However, it really is very useful. My husband had an ear wax build up in the past and was told to buy over the counter remedies (clean up system/ear drop and pump) and do it at home. Yes we/I did it in the past but just after getting 0.5 cm diameter piece out we thought that that must be it. When I got the otoscope two weeks ago I understood that without looking into the ear canal you can never know what is happening inside. Thanks to this so reasonably priced otoscope we toook time in doing the job gradually, putting one- or two drops of glycerin (baby oil is also fine) in the course of couple of days, softening the build up then after three times of careful and cautious cleaning with he help of the over the counter systems he is compleletly free of the build up. I would never understand what we were doing and most probably would not succseed in comptleting the clean up if I could not see what was inside. It was scary, but seeing inside helped a lot.
One needs to pull the ear quite a bit to help the ear canal to get more of a straight line, otherwise it is very easy to use.If you are applying on your children they may feel like they are punished through pulling of ear!!! It looks funny to pull the ear.
If you are applying its reuseable head make sure that you really wash them each time as recommended in order to avoid introducing bacteria. I am recommending it very strongly for those who might need it but also remind us all that the ease with which one can use it should not blind one that afterall one is engaging in a small medical examination and should also show the basic care as the health professionals take. Otherwise such self usable things may turn out to be dangerous. I am saying this becasue the view is pretty fascinating and it is very tempting to just look into everybodies ear in the family without thinking about such things.
Product Review: Don't waste your money!

I bought this because of the great reviews but I honestly can't see a thing with it. I've tried it on everyone in my house and used the different tips and I am so disappointed with this product.Product Review: Dr Mom LED Pocket Otoscope

I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend it highly to anyone. I had bought a cheaper version at CVS for $10 but it broke twice and I just gave up on it. I went searching the web and came across this item with a lifetime guarantee and was sold. Once I received it and used it, i was even more impressed. The light is fantastic and I was able to see into my toddlers ears with no problems. If you have small kids that get a lot of ear infections or a lot of wax build up, you need to get this item.Product Review: Dr Mom Slimline Stainless LED Otoscope

If doctor approves and INSTRUCTS, this can rule out or confirm middle ear infection as cause of fever in infants and toddlers.
