Third Generation Dr Mom Slimline Stainless LED Pocket Otoscope with Soft White Natural Hue Light Spectrum in Hard Travel Case Includes Lighted Ear Wax curettes

I absolutely love this otoscope! I use it all the time! My kids love when i look in their ears. Always asking me to scratch inside their ears, when they get itchy. But i am having a hard time finding a replacement for the ear wax removal tips.

I LOVE this otoscope. I've only had it for a week and already it's my new favorite toy. I've used it on my husband and my 19 month old daughter. There are three different sizes and the smallest one is perfect for my petite little girl and the biggest is perfect for adults. I debated getting the most updated expensive one but wanted the curettes it comes with also and I'm glad I chose this one because it's exactly what I need. There isn't anything wrong the picture. It's enough to see if there is anything serious (where you may need a doc), enough to see if there's an infection, and enough to see wax buildup. Like I said, I have only had the product for one week so if anything changes I will definitely update. This comes with batteries and they are not the best kind of batteries so have on hand the right kind just in case. The case it comes in is really flimsy and if amazon allowed .5 stars I would give this product a 4.5 solely for the case. The case is extremely flimsy and broke when I opened it. The curettes are hard to clean after collecting wax so I'd advise people to run under boiling water to disinfect to make sure nothing gets stuck. The assembly of the actual otoscope is quite simple to put together and understand. It seems sturdy enough to keep for a few years and although the part you look through is plastic, if you take good care of it, which I plan to, I'm sure it would stay fine. The plastic is so clear that I thought it was glass at first! All in all I'm super happy with my purchase. It's a great deal for a small family like mine and works just fine to see what you are looking for!

Kiddo with frequent ear infections and waiting for tube placement... This has been a life saver in making sure we are able to monitor for infections more closely and get into the doctor as quick as possible. It is easy to put together, and the pen light design is simple and effective. Easy to take with us due to smaller design. Multiple sizes is helpful to monitor the entire family as needed. Images give us a better idea of what to look for, but we definitely trust the professionals opinion.

Works well really well if you have someone that can sit still. I have a squirmy 8 month old that unfortunately won't let me look in his ear long enough to see if he has an ear infection.

I am absolutely thrilled with this purchase. I am now able to check my children's ears at home so that I can determine whether or not they need to see the dr. This is by no means a replacement for obtaining a qualified medical opinion on your child's health and does not make you qualified to do so. However, it helps when you have a fussy toddler to check for redness. If there is no visible redness then I wait it out for a few days and monitor their symptoms. If I see signs of redness that are slight, I wait one day to see if it gets worse. If it does become more noticeable the second day or if there is very noticeable redness the first time I look, then I take them to the dr. I have found that when there is only a light redness, the dr will tell me it may only be irritation and they will wait to prescribe antibiotics. That is why I make sure it is noticeably red before I take them to the dr. This product has definitely saved us money in co-pays! I thought the price was reasonable and I am very satisfied with the quality and the materials that were sent with the product. There are different sized tips for different aged people and there are cleaning tips as well. Do be sure to read all of the product packaging and inserts so that you see which tips to use for which aged children. Reading this information can also help to keep you from accidentally hurting your child's eardrums. You also should not use the cleaning tips on small children due to the risk on injury, so please please please read through the directions first! All in all this has been very helpful in our household for a child with chronic ear infections.

I bought this product to keep track of the cleanliness and health of my children's ears. It took a little practice and some tries on what attachments to use, but I think I finally have it down how to view their ear drums. All the reviews that say that couldn't see a thing is probably because they had the largest viewing attachment on and needed to go to a smaller one. As for the curettes... my untrained hand is having a bit of difficulty. I think if I got them out of the bath and tried, I'd have better luck. I'm just afraid that I will go a little too deep and cause some damage. It is well-lit and easy to see what I'm doing. I'm not certain which attachment to use, though. When should I use the scoop and when the loop? Seems more like a personal training issue than a product issue. It's a tough balance between economy and function. It isn't a top of the line otoscope, but that's not what I was shopping for. It's a good product to use once in awhile for a quick look rather than a midnight trip to the ER. Overall, I'm happy with it. Just be prepared to start slowly and learn as you go! Be cautious and careful with those delicate ears.
