If you are a patient undergoing Otoscopy don’t be worried. Unlike other medical procedures this is a relatively easy process that is carried out to inspect your ear.

When you feel pain in your ear or feel slight imbalance while walking, moving or performing any activity; your physician may recommend that you visit the Otoscopist or may give you an appointment for an otoscopic procedure.

You will be asked to sit on a stool or chair and tilt your head slightly. Your ear lobe will be pulled slightly so that the examiner can peer inside and see the ear drum. This is just initial, external, examination of the ear. Following this, the examiner will insert the otoscope into your ear so that he can view the internal parts of the tympanum clearly and check for any problems. The otoscope is a device use by the healthcare practitioner to inspect the ear. This device may have a small space or opening for air to pass. The doctor may blow into the device and see how the patient’s ear drums are receiving it. The ear canal is about 2 cm long in adults and plays an important role in helping the individual to listen clearly and respond to instructions.
