Abstract:

 


Abstract: Ear related diseases are common in both otolaryngology clinics and family practice since all age groups
can get affected. Due to the frequency and the range of diseases of the ear, it is very important to carry out a thorough
examination and make a correct diagnosis. Otoscopes are very useful tools used for otoscopic examination.
Although head mirrors and head lambs can be used for the examination of the ear, otoscopes provide a better field
of vision and a more detailed sight. There are two main types of otoscopes; portable and wall-mounted. However, the
examination should not be limited to the outer ear. It is the examiner’s responsibility to check the area around the ear
for abnormalities. Otoscopic examination is a convenient method for making a correct diagnosis. Therefore, every
medical doctor should be able to perform a proper otoscopic examination and make a correct diagnosis.
