Best Otoscopes of 2025

"As a former nurse practitioner, I find this otoscope great for home and mission work. It's lightweight and easy to handle."

"I've saved hundreds in copays since using this otoscope on my child with ear infections. The included instructions are very helpful, making this a smart investment."

"Having used multiple generations, I'm impressed with the 5th gen model. It offers clear images and good light. Plus, it runs on C batteries, which is convenient!"

"I find this otoscope perfect for work and home. As someone who works in a nursing home, it's essential for me to have handy and portable equipment. I prefer to keep it disassembled to avoid accidental activation. Although the on/off switch feels a bit flimsy, if I keep the batteries out, I don't have any issues. The light is bright enough, and I would definitely recommend it!"

"I sent this otoscope to my daughter and daughter-in-law and showed them how to screen for ear infections. They both find it very useful for that purpose!"

"This is a great otoscope for students or home use. I initially tried it in my practice due to its affordability and decent visualization, but I found that it's not rechargeable, and I was quickly using up batteries. The on/off switch easily turns on due to its design, which isn't ideal in a busy practice. However, it works well for home use and seems durable."

"I bought this otoscope to avoid unnecessary doctor visits for minor issues. It has definitely saved us both time and money! I find it very helpful to have at home!"

"As a nurse, I wanted an easy-to-use otoscope for my family's ear checks. This one is fantastic! The light is bright, and the different-sized specs are a great bonus. I love the convenient pouch for storage!"

"Initially, I struggled with the bulb and batteries since there were no instructions included, but after figuring it out, I was impressed by how well it worked. The light is bright and the optics clear!"

"I had a cheaper otoscope during FNP school, but I decided to invest in this one, and I do not regret it. It has truly taken my learning to a whole new level with its clear and wide view."

"This is an awesome product! It's like going from watching black and white TV to super high definition!"

"It works like a charm. I’m replacing a previously stolen item with this one, and I'm really pleased."

"I found this gadget to be a cost-effective alternative to professional machines."

"As a medical student, I could only use it for about four weeks before the light stopped working."

"The product was easy to use, and I really appreciated its portable design."

"I was excited to get this product because I love the idea of looking in my own ear and recording what I see. However, most of the time, it says no camera found. When I put the scope back in the main device, it only takes pictures and doesn't record video, which isn't very helpful. Based on other reviews, I might have received a defective unit, and I wouldn't recommend this product as there are better options out there."

"I ordered this product and was pleased with the quick delivery and secure packaging. The included kit with wax scraping tools is a nice touch. The instructions, however, were frustratingly small. The screen is crystal clear and it's fairly easy to use by myself, though having someone assist is definitely better. It’s great to check for issues, potentially saving me a costly doctor visit, and I must say, this scope is just so cool!"

"I recently bought the ScopeAround Digital Otoscope, and I'm absolutely thrilled with its performance! The 720p HD camera provides clear images, making it easy to see what's happening inside my ears. The bright IPS screen and six LED lights offer great illumination. Setup is a breeze with the plug-and-play design. This otoscope has become an essential tool for my family's ear health, giving me peace of mind without needing a doctor visit. I highly recommend it!"

"I find this otoscope to be great for home use. As a nurse, it has saved me a lot on doctor visits for my kids' ear infections. The visibility is surprisingly good for such an inexpensive product!"

"This otoscope is exceptional for the price. My husband and I, both nurses, appreciate its usefulness in checking our son's ears before heading to the doctor. It has already paid for itself by helping us check other family members."

"I’m very pleased with this otoscope. It has a solid construction and the light is bright enough for my needs. I use it to diagnose ear wax issues and it works perfectly!"

"I purchased an expensive brand otoscope before this one and was very disappointed. With the ADC otoscope, I was amazed by the quality and lighting. It's light and easy to use! I would definitely buy it again!"

"As a PA student, I needed an otoscope/ophthalmoscope for my physical diagnosis course. This kit is super affordable and of great quality. The light is bright and focused, making it easy to operate. My classmates often borrow it since it’s better quality than theirs!"

"This is an update to my last review. I received this through USPS, and while I think it will do the job, I haven't tested it yet. It's lightweight and requires 4 AA batteries. I'm giving it a 4-star rating because it's lighter than expected, but I do have some nervousness about its durability."

"I bought a scope for my nursing studies, and it's perfect with a great case. The extra features are nice, although I might not need them. When I had a small issue, their customer service reached out and resolved it quickly. I would definitely buy from them again!"

"I got this device for my health assessment class about a month ago. Initially, everything seemed fine, but when I looked into the eye, it was all just glare. Even my instructor confirmed it wasn’t functioning properly. Unfortunately, I missed the return period by two days, so I’ll have to buy another one from a different brand."

"As a retired RN, I use this product for my grandchildren. Overall, it has been quite useful, but I did face some assembly issues with the parts."

"As a retired ER nurse, I was thrilled to receive this lightweight and functional otoscope. It's so much better than my old, clunky model and does the job perfectly at a great price!"

"I appreciate this quality ear-scope that works well for various uses, from checking ears to inspecting skin spots. Its solid feel gives me confidence in its durability, making it a great addition to my home first aid kit!"
