5th Gen Dr Mom Professional Otoscope - Full-Size with Our Largest Lens, Complete with Batteries and Hard Travel Case

I am a pediatrician. I look in around 20 pairs of ears a day. I bought this otoscope to have at home so I can look in my child’s ears. It works well! LED lights really can wash out the colors of the ear drum, and this one didn’t have that problem.Is this better than my work Welch Allyn with the halogen light bulb? No- nothing is ever going to beat that. That otoscope is, however, ridiculously expensive. Is it better than the professional Welch Allyn with LED light and 2x zoom? In my opinion, yes. That one washes out the color of the eardrum too much. It is also better (though not a crazy amount better) than the pocketscope Welch Allyn. It is also bigger in size than the pocketscope Welch Allyn so something to consider if you’re planning on traveling with your otoscope. Lastly, it use a C batteries as opposed to AA batteries, which is a bit annoying. Thankfully, the otoscope does come with C batteries in the container.It also is better in terms of color and visualization ability than a camera otoscope. At least for me it’s too diffuse a light and awkward to manipulate with a screen and a toddler. It is also better than 2 cheaper ones I bought at CVS and on Amazon, respectively. Those two were so awful, I cannot believe they are allowed to be sold. I couldn’t, as a professional, see anything with them- the lights were too diffuse and bad quality LED with a blue cast.I cannot speak to the longevity of the product as I am reviewing it based on how it works for visualizing the eardrum. Given the price I am inclined to think this is a very good value. If you prize a smaller affordable otoscope I’d go with the pocket Welch Allyn. If you want the best visualization for the price I’d say this is the one for you!

We owned the original version of this product, which was at least ten years old. We found the original version to be very functional, but very fragile. It was not hard to have it become disassembled in your hard if you pressed on it too hard. Wow! What a contrast to this latest generation of this product. The new one is built like a battle tank by comparison. This is a very welcomed upgrade. If you need an affordable scope, this is it!

currently trying to use for my baby's ears. I had to order smaller tips. I was able to find smaller tips that worked with this otoscope. These larger tips are great for adult ears. The light is bright. The otoscope is easy and comfortable to hold. High quality.

I love this otoscope. It's good quality, works like it suppose to, and I can tell the owners of this brand run their business with care. I'd definitely buy from them again.

Super happy with our purchase.

Useful if your child has frequent er infections or sinus infections.

This is a professional quality instrument at a private citizen price. For years we struggled using a plastic over the counter version of the otoscope: poor light, poor magnification, flimsy parts. The Doctor Mom Otoscope surpassed all our expectations for quality and features at a very reasonable price. Many thanks to the owners, developers, designers, and manufactures of Doctor Mom instruments!

Great quality. Good materials. Good source of light. Nice optics
