Product Description
Finally, an inexpensive yet very functional otoscope for home use!As an ER physician for 23 years I have researched and used every otoscope on the market. My goal was to design an inexpensive otoscope that would be as functional in detecting eardrum abnormalities as the very expensive models I use at work. I also wanted it to be very durable. I feel we offer this in our Original Dr Mom Otoscope. I am so confident you will love this otoscope I offer a 60 day return policy. Each otoscope order includes color pictures of normal and diseased eardrums and an instructional sheet written by a physician describing how to properly use your otoscope for best viewing results. IMPORTANT: our otoscope also includes 3 Specula 4mm adult, 3mm child and 2.5mm infant.Customer Feedback:I am a pediatrician in the Dallas, Texas area and have referred many patients to your website to buy your original dr mom otoscope. I have told them that it is the best design out there and they should not waste their money on the fancy look-a likes. I could actually use yours if my Welch Allyn was not available. Thanks much, Steven Crow, MD1112 Floyd RoadRichardson, Texas 75080

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful product!   September 19, 2008

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.

1 out of 5 stars Great concept, simple to use, but poor execution   September 18, 2008

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(

My son was born with abnormally small nostrils. Because of this, we are unable to use a bulb syringe to clear his nasal passages. We have to use a pick (provided by the doctor) to remove secretions from his nose. The Dr Mom Otoscope provides enough light that I can tell whether I need to clean his nose or not, and enables me to see what I am doing without damaging his nasal tissue. Thanks! The only draw back--- batteries do not last long with frequent use.

This is fantastic for parents of young children to stay aware of wax buildup or ear infections. One of my best buys!

It really works, I can see into my son's ears pretty clearly. After a doctor helped me understand what i'm looking at in there, I can now determine if my son has an ear infection without making unnessary trips to the doctor. Good price and I highly recommend it.
