What is an "otoscope"?
An otoscope is a medical device used by healthcare providers to examine the inside of the ear. It includes a handle with a light and a magnifying lens or a tiny camera at the end of a cone-shaped tip. Doctors or nurses use otoscopes to look for ear infections, earwax buildup, or other ear-related issues. The light improves visibility in the ear canal and on the eardrum, while the magnifying lens or camera provides a close-up view of the ear structures. Otoscopes are essential tools in diagnosing and monitoring ear conditions, helping healthcare providers to recommend appropriate treatment and care.
