An otoscope, also known as an auriscope, is a type of medical instrument that a healthcare professional uses to examine the inside of a patient's ears. This is done as part of physical examinations and whenever there is a concern regarding hearing or ear health in general.
This is one of the main differences between an ophthalmoscope and otoscope, because the former is used for one purpose only, which is examining the eyes. Appearance is another difference between an ophthalmoscope and otoscope. The head of the ophthalmoscope is flat on both sides of the instrument and is not designed to come into contact with the eye. With the otoscope, the instrument has a cone-shaped tip that protrudes slightly on the side facing the patient and is inserted slightly into the patient's ear.
