Digital Otoscopes: New Technology for Hearing Health Care Providers and Home Users: A Breakthrough for Ear Examination, Ear Wax Management, and Custom Mold Fittings
Keeping ears clean is vital for ear health, not just protecting them from noise or water. With over 40 years of experience, E.A.R. Customized Hearing and our global network of hearing healthcare providers have found excessive ear wax buildup to be extremely common. This often blocks the ear canal and must be removed before custom earmolds or hearing aids can be fit.
Inspecting and cleaning ears traditionally requires otoscopes, ear lights, or expensive video otoscopes. Removing wax buildup involves curettes, irrigators, or over-the-counter products. However, many are not built for this delicate process.
E.A.R. offers a new affordable, professional-grade solution. Our EAR/BeBird digital otoscope line lets you visually inspect the ear canal with a stunning 10mp digital medical camera. Specialized silicone tips then allow you to hygienically and effectively remove wax buildup. There is no need for cotton swabs, bobby pins, paperclips or other unsafe DIY methods.
EAR/BeBird otoscopes easily pair with smartphones and tablets for clear images and video. According to audiologists worldwide, our otoscopes are game-changing tools for ear impressions and hearing healthcare. Both medical professionals and home users will appreciate safe, comfortable ear cleaning and examination.
