Video Ear Inspections are a modern diagnostic method that allows patients to see the inside of their ears in real time. Using a small camera attached to an otoscope, the ear canal and eardrum are displayed on a video screen, providing a detailed view of any potential issues. This non-invasive procedure is commonly used to detect earwax buildup, infections, or abnormalities, offering both patients and hearing care professionals a clearer understanding of ear health. By visually showing the condition of the ear, this tool enhances communication, ensures accurate diagnosis, and helps guide appropriate treatment plans.
