Key features:

• Technique: held like a pen, the otoscope is gently inserted into the ear canal, typically while pulling the pinna (outer ear) slightly up and back to straighten the canal.
• Safety: It is designed to inspect up to the eardrum and should be used carefully to avoid touching the sensitive skin of the ear canal.

Key Components

• Structure: consists of a handle, a LED light source, a viewing lens (magnification), and a funnel-shaped, often disposable, speculum for insertion.
  
  
• Digital Options: Some models allow users to capture photos or videos of the ear canal, which is useful for tracking conditions or sharing with specialist
