An otoscope, also known as an auriscope, is a type of medical instrument that a healthcare professional uses to examine the inside of a patient's ears. This is done as part of physical examinations and whenever there is a concern regarding hearing or ear health in general.
The most commonly used otoscopes consist of a handle and a head. The head contains a light source and a simple low-power magnifying lens, typically around 8 diopters. The distal (front) end of the otoscope has an attachment for disposable plastic ear specula.
