Otoscopes are medical devices used to view and examine the ear canal and tympanic membrane. An ear otoscope consists of a handle and a head. The head consists of a light source and a simple low-power magnifying glass. The distal part of the otoscope consists of an attachment for disposable plastic ear speculas. The lens is usually removable to allow insertion of instruments through the specula for retrieval of foreign bodies or earwax and accumulated dead skin cells. Otoscopes can be wall mounted or portable. This ear scope can work on three sources of power: rechargeable batteries, permanent connection to a battery source or disposable batteries. The digital otoscope lights also have three variants: direct light, indirect light and fiber optic. Otoscopic examination allows the doctors to identify any discrepancies.
