Otoscopes, Otoscopes, Otoscopes Lend me your ear!
Doctor Mom Otoscopes the Otoscope that started the home otoscopy movement over 25 years ago
Designed by an American ER Physician and an American Pediatrician from the ground up with Function and Reliability in mind. This is the very first LED otoscope built and sold in the world.
Based in Wyoming, USA, Doctor Mom Otoscope is the first company to offer at-home otoscopes and has been helping parents since 1996. By choosing Doctor Mom, you can trust you're using a quality at-home product with your children from a trusted American-made company.
Doctor Mom Otoscopes built the very first LED otoscope. We use a proprietary soft white color LED module with a DC to DC Boost Converter that protects against voltage spikes— not the bluish white simple LED bulbs like others. There is no need ever for replacement bulbs! Just add batteries, which are included with your purchase!
EASY TO RECHARGE: No charging port, cords, or hard-to-find batteries needed! When your otoscope light is running dim, simply replace the AAA batteries. Batteries will last and last because of our voltage regulated LED module. Otoscope comes complete with batteries and 3 sizes of re-useable specula. Inexpensive Disposable Specula are also available on Amazon in 3 sizes.
Doctor Mom began the at-home otoscopy movement in 1996.
INCENTIVIZED REVIEWS; we never use them, and never will. Take time to read reviews to understand how getting free product for doing a review can artificially inflate a bad product.
Never Replace the Bulb!
The Doctor Mom difference:
Our LED is built on a circuit board with a DC to DC Boost Converter, which allows for voltage regulation. This protects the LED from failure caused by voltage spikes that are often found with new battery sets. Simple LED bulbs have no protection and their life is limited. This is why they frequently come with a replacement bulb.
Diagnose Ear Infections Easily
Get everything you need to diagnose ear infections!
The Doctor Mom Otoscope comes complete with batteries, adult and pediatric specula, and a protective case.
We include images of normal and infected ear drums on the otoscope case, which is very helpful when initially learning to use your otoscope. We also include a weblink that takes you to 30 high resolution images as well as otoscope use instructions written by an experienced ER physician.
Soft White Natural Hue LED light - Not the old bluish LED that distorts tissue color
UNINHIBITED VIEW: Manufactured using an optical quality lens that gives a crystal clear image with absolutely zero distortion with 4X magnification; We use a soft, natural-light spectrum LED module with a DC to DC Boost Converter, rather than a blue-tinted simple LED bulb that has no ability for voltage regulation which causes a much shorter bulb life
Includes a weblink to images of ear pathology and otoscope use Instructions written by an ER Physician
Otoscope comes complete with batteries and 3 sizes of re-useable specula. Inexpensive Disposable Specula are also available on Amazon in 3 sizes.
You will also receive a weblink showing images of normal and infected ears, plus otoscope use instructions written by an experienced ER physician.
LOWEST cost of ownership
CONSUMABLES - Lowest Cost of Ownership of any Otoscope Model - Replacement Specula and Bulbs are what you will consume over time.
Doctor Mom has the highest rated yet least expensive adult and pediatric size otoscope specula sold on Amazon for this model in packs of 60 for less than $7.
You will never have to purchase another LED module vs otoscopes that use simple LED bulbs that do burn out, there is no lower cost otoscope you can own over time.
Optical Quality Glass Lens
UNINHIBITED VIEW: Optical quality removable GLASS lens with absolutely zero distortion. Contains a proprietary soft, natural hue light spectrum LED, rather than a blue-tinted LED, for easy ear canal viewing.
Reliability DfR - Long term reliability means EVERYTHING
When you need an otoscope you REALLY need it! Engineers often talk about the importance of design for reliability (DfR) and the impact it has on a product’s overall efficiencies and success. Luckily, one of the two physicians involved in creating the Dr Mom Otoscope was a design engineer before he was a physician and understood the importance of reliability, especially for an instrument like a home use otoscope.
This is a tool that will spend the majority of its life in a drawer or medicine cabinet, but when you need it, you need it to work.
We are a small American company based in Wyoming who are honest and we play by the rules and we will work to always make things right
Buyer Beware: there is a substantial amount of review cheating that goes on at Amazon by unscrupulous sellers who pay for both positive reviews on their own products and who pay others to leave negative reviews on their competition, especially if the competition has a strong reliable product.
Please take the time to come back and leave an honest review. It is the only way that good and decent Americans can fight back against the dishonesty often coming out of aggressive companies from other places.

After having two children that have had recurrent ear infections, I decided to take matters into my own hands and buy my own otoscope. I was very excited today’s on my child who was on anabiotic‘s for an ear infection last week. I received the otoscope and immediately used it, but was disappointed that within two minutes it stopped working. I was very bummed. I contacted the customer service via email and was happy when they responded very quickly to. I explain what happened and next thing I knew, I received a new head to my otoscope and they even included extra specular for it within days. After using it several times now, it is a very effective product. I mean, it’s not the exact same as a doctors otoscope As far as quality (I have experience in the medical field) , but for the price and the fact that it does it’s job and provides a nice and clear picture of the eardrum, I would definitely recommend. overall, I was very impressed with the product, price & customer service!

It takes a bit to get used to see the drums, specially in kids, but this otoscope is clear and has a good light. As other mentioned the tips might get loose a bit too easy, but I also noticed that I would only think so when I was turning it the wrong way trying to see something.Good otoscope for the price, specially with the tips and the case.My daughter had several ear infections and we decided to buy this, which was a great idea. Even though my daughter now has tubes, another day she had a cold and I smelled something different near her ear. 5 minutes later I had confirmed there was drainage going on to the point it was bothering her, we put a few drops and it was all good. No trip to the doctor, no copay, no stress.Bottom line is, if you're buying this to look at your kids ears, you might want to get used to it with an adult first, and then with the kids. If your kids are prone to ear infections and still very young, I would suggest to have check their ears every two or three weeks, mainly to get them used to it and you familiar with what you're supposed to see and how to do it.

I bought this about 3 weeks ago since my wife and baby daughter both got ear infections at the same time. After reading all the reviews on amazon I decided on this one even though I didn't know if the ear piece would fall off or not. I am very pleased with the purchase as everything stays together and actually takes a little bit of effort sometimes to get the piece off but that's what I would expect. The LED light was something that I knew I wanted since I didn't want to have to buy another one just because the light burned out.The website referenced in the material is awesome. There are pictures and explanations that greatly enhance your abilities and I could tell just by looking at the pictures posted on the site that they both had ear infections (one inner ear infection and one outer ear infection). I still took them in to the doctor but it was so great to be able to do a preliminary check beforehand and have that much more knowledge. I will be using this many times over the years.

Note my 5 star rating is for the product...I have Prime and it took an extra 4 days to get to me past when it was supposed to be here....I am a pediatric nurse and also a mother to a 4 year old boy. Now I really wanted to get an otoscope because my son has had so many problems with excessive wax buildup I wanted to see for myself what I was really dealing with before I took him in to get a good cleanout. I'm so glad I bought this! I finally understand why my son is constantly rubbing his ears and this allows me to keep a good eye on his ears. It even works on adults too (has been tested).It comes with tips for an infant, an older child (one I use on my son, can use on younger and older too), and one for an adult. They are NOT disposable tips but we wipe them down after each use and clean up great. They just pull off and insert another tip if needed.The amount of light that comes out is perfect. Everyone's ear canals are shaped different so you just have to fiddle around with that but you will see the eardrum with no problem as far as lighting goes. I don't worry about using the pictures because they really aren't all that helpful but for some they are useful in pointing in the right direction of a cause for ear problems.It turns on and off by a button on the bottom of the otoscope. The case is also a definite bonus. It's hard and has nice lined places for storage.Overall, great product for a great price. Would buy again for sure!

The Dr. Mom LED Otoscope with hard case is great to have for nursing students, nurses and moms. The LED light is very bright and it makes it easy to view inside the ear canal and gives true color to the ear drum. The hard case is a plus to have so that it can be kept safe. It comes with 3 different sized cones, two batteries and the otoscope has a clip for staying in your pocket. The on/off switch is on the bottom, just like a pen light, and it is very lightweight. I have only had it for a couple of weeks now, but I am looking forward to seeing how long it will last. I do wish the molded tray the otoscope lays in wasn't a cheap plastic covered with fuzz. I wish it could have been a foam or something better than the plastic tray, but it is good for the price I paid. This is a great tool to have for any beginner.
