The Original Doctor Mom Otoscope, otoscopes :: Education by Design Store

Editorial Review
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.

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.

Just what Dr. Mom Ordered

2007-08-24
With 5 kids 8 and under this is a well used instrument. Enclosed lesson card helped to understand what to look for and clarity is great. Recommended!

Wonderful Product.

This is wonderful. I've used it many times already to check my children's ears when in doubt about an ear infection. It has saved us needless trips to the doctor. The included diagrams are very helpful. I also was able to use it to spot and remove an object my son stuck in his ear--a spitball! No wonder he complained his ear was itchy! Pulled out the otoscope and checked his ear--then I got the spitball out! Wonderful.

Great for the price - Our pediatrician was impressed!

I got this after my daughter had serial ear infections and then PE tubes that got clogged. I had to be able to tell when to take her to the doctor for ear pain or not. I had the pediatrician show me how to use it and he was really impressed with what it could do and with the diagrams that came with it. He suggested keeping the batteries full so the light is as bright as can be. He liked that you could see the ear drum clearly and that it was a reasonable cost. He had other patients he was going to recommend purchase this item because it could be really helpful and he encouraged me to use it. I've used it a number of times now and it's saved quite a few trips to the doctors office! Definitely a good purchase for those with kids who have chronic ear problems.

Works Quite Nicely on Cats!

I can see my cat's ear drums with no problem with this which is a good thing because before you put ANYTHING into your pets ear you need to ensure the ear drum is intact lest you cause IRREPAIRABLE damage. An ear that looks healthy on the outside is not necessarily healthy on the inside. Only with an otoscope can you make that determination.

I was able to look in one of my cats ears and find ear mites (they are gross...little yellow bugs that crawl around on the wax) and know that I needed to get some ear mite medicine. This saves me on vet bills!

And seeing human ear drums? No sweat! It's as easy as pie.

Works great!

I have had the Dr. Mom otoscope for three years and have never had a problem seeing in my daughters' ears. As infants, I can look in the ear while I'm nursing them and as they are older, I can look while they are asleep if they are sound asleep, or if I can distract them with the TV enough then they hold very still while sitting. I don't feel like I'm going too deep into the ear at all and can see to the eardrum very well. The key is pulling the ear back a little (sometimes up and back) to get a clear view of the eardrum through the canal without going very deep. I've saved a lot of trips to the doctor because of this thing, and I've known when to go when things start to look bad.

Dr Mom Otoscope

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.

Fantastic item for parents

2008-01-20
This is fantastic for parents of young children to stay aware of wax buildup or ear infections. One of my best buys!

A must have item

2008-01-09
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.

Great product!

I ordered this because my 7yo recently had an issue with impacted ear wax. I was hoping it would help me monitor that situation and it works great! I also have a 2yo who is prone to ear infections. While I would never try to diagnose an ear infection on my own I can definitely see if he has redness using this otoscope. I highly recommend this! Great value.

This product is good for the average person that does not work in the medical field. Good illustrations.
