It is amazing how many pieces make up the inner ear and thus our ability to hear. Never take hearing for granted, it is a gift.

Yep....unless there is an actual issue then it is horrifying....i lost my left ear hearing in 2020....6 cortizone shots and 3 monhs later, thanking God, it came back....but yes, when all is well it is pure asmr. :)

Thank you for the video!

[@DoctorMaya7]

An instrument called a pneumatic otoscope must be used by doctor to make a correct diagnosis of an ear infection. This instrument will enable the doctor to look in the ear and judge how much fluid may be behind the eardrum. With the pneumatic otoscope, the doctor gently puffs air against the eardrum. Normally, this puff of air would cause the eardrum to move. If the middle ear is filled with fluid, your doctor will observe little to no movement of the eardrum and patient will have pain (like touching an abscess). Please refer and provide accurate information and reduce "Antibiotic Abuse"

If they can see your middle ear you have a burst eardrum, you normally cannot see anyones middle ear

thanks Hermione!

[@Crixus5927]

would you need to change the speculum when examining the other ear?

[@ashleer7583]

Gbenga Alabi No.

[@lfc_1233]

Ade Alabi yes, if there is an infection in the external auditory canal of one ear then you wouldn’t want to spread it to the other ear so change the speculum

[@9senel]

​@@lfc_1233 That doesnt make sense - wouldn’t you first start with examining the healthy ear and then the infected ear?

When you hear that pop, it is probably just your eustachian tube opening up and equalising the pressure in your middle ear.

My GP did none of those. Told me to tilt my head and shoved the thing in for a few seconds. Said I had too much wax for him to see and tried to give me ear drops for syringing which I refused as I told him I have deafness and hyperaucusis. He didn't care.

[@londonlad74]

How would you diagnose Otitis Externa? (A little bit of palpation over tragus/antitragus/mastoid maybe?)

[@dr.theophilussaudje8575]

Yeah. For tragal tenderness It usually starts with itch too

[@PrinceXu]

if there is a personal visual tool for you to check your ear canal examination very easy, to love and care about our ear health, what do you think?

[@princessmcgee3800]

You forgot to have the patient lean their head over slighly to the side during inspection for better view

My ENT hurt my ear canal with this tool, it became swollen.. I had so much pain during the examination. I know that it's ear infection, but it became worse when I left the office.

[@nix1929]

That can happen sometimes, especially if the ear canal is already tender and swollen from the infection or you have a very small canal. It's a bit of a catch-22 in those situations because you shouldn't put the otoscope too far into the canal, but you may need to if swelling is obstructing your view, in which case it may cause some pain.

why check behind the ear-What does a cancerous lump behind the ear feel like? Lump behind ear: Causes, diagnosis, and more In some cases, a lump behind the ear may be cancerous. A cancerous lump is typically firm to the touch and fixed in place. It may also be painful and produce discharge.
