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. |

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.

Reliability DfR - Long term reliability means EVERYTHINGWhen 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. |

I was quite nicely surprised. It is extremely light, the LED light source is very bright, and the scope has a magnifying lens on it. I use it as a pen light for checking pupils and a dermatoscope for looking at skin lesions in addition to being an otoscope. Don't get me wrong - if you are doing serious ENT or derm this won't cut it for you. But for medicine wards to do a quick check this really does do an excellent job. It feels sturdy and works well. In fact, my attending asked me where I got it because she liked it and was impressed by it.
I can genuinely recommend this as a great little product to check in your doctor bag or white coat to get you through exams and make you look good for not having to say "exam deferred" because you couldn't look in an ear or more closely examine the skin.
The one drawback is that it says "Dr. Mom" on the side, which, lets face it, is a touch embarrassing for a med student or resident running around the wards. I solved this problem by carefully and neatly wrapping electrician's tape around the handle which had the added benefit of giving a better grip on the handle. I don't know how long it will actually last since I have only been using it about 2 months, but it seems to be well constructed and even if it only lasted a year at $25 I would still say it is worth it.
Bottom line: Solid purchase for the money and excellent asset for the poor and busy med student or resident.
WA products use halogen bulbs at $35 replacements, generating heat, suck up battery life, and burn out quickly.
Dr Mom products use LED lights, no cost for bulbs, no heat, low battery use, and never burn out bulbs.
I have not used WA products but suspect this was the only one available at the time the dentist or doctor graduated and set up her practice, so no choice. I think they are dependable, but then again, when is an otoscope a life-saving device? Does it matter if it fails? Just get two! Or a dozen at this price.
Mine works fine. I use it on pet ears and can see inside clearly. I bought the cheapest model at $26 to test out. The only issue is that the specula falls out easily, sometimes in my pets ear. This could be improved and is the reason for the 4 stars.
My other issue is that the manufacturer, I spoke to her once, is a rude lady and from what I have read in reviews gives you a hard time with returns. I suspect a lot of 'great' reviews online on this product, were written by her on her own product. While this damages her credibility, the product is good, so deserves a fair rating.
The light is bright. Holder is slim and easy to carry. One specula comes with pkg, so you need to order more. Most speculas in dog or cat ears pick up some wax on ends and hard to clean off. I'm still on the same batteries after 2 yrs of use. No problems.
I will now buy the higher end otoscope by Dr Mom. This should be bigger and stronger hopefully, giving me even more views into my animal ears.
If you remove the narrowing specula, you get a magnifying lighted view of anything you look at - splinter, watch repair, dust particles,...!
This is a useful device and no home should be without one.
