With an otoscope, a patient’s ear canal and eardrum can be quickly and precisely examined. It is part of an ENT doctor’s and hearing aid acoustician’s basic equipment, but a good otoscope is also indispensable for general practitioners, in paediatrics or in a hospital.
In order to find the right device for your needs, we will show you some of the differences between otoscopes and tell you what you should look for when buying one.
We distinguish between otoscope illumination with a light bulb and illumination with fibre optics (F.O.):
With the popular HEINE mini 3000 otoscope, for example, you can choose between direct and indirect (F.O.) illumination, as well as XHL and energy-saving LED.
You should also pay attention to the handling and durability of an otoscope. Ask yourself: “What do I need?” Many models impress with their low weight, pocket size, retaining clip and ergonomic shape. This takes the strain off your daily work and makes the examination particularly pleasant for you and your patients.
The HEINE mini 3000, for example, also offers an automatic switch-off in the pocket and a high-quality handle housing made of chrome and refined plastic. This makes the otoscope non-slip, impact-resistant and robust, and it has a long service life.
In addition to the widely used classic otoscope, there are now also digital models. Among other things, they can be connected to a computer, have a zoom function and allow the otoscopy to be recorded and saved. This means that the examination can not only be followed live by the patient, but can also be viewed by the doctor afterwards.
In principle, conventional otoscopes can be used for small patients. Only the ear funnel must be adapted to the child’s anatomy (tapered). Special children’s otoscopes in playful designs are also available.
When diagnosing with the help of an otoscope, it is important to maintain the necessary hygiene. This not only contributes to the longest possible life of your otoscope, but also protects patients. The most hygienic way to work is to use otoscope funnels. A distinction is made between disposable funnels and permanent ones (reusable funnels). While disposable funnels – as the name suggests – are intended for single use, continuous-use funnels can be used several times, but require disinfection after each patient contact.
