Otoscopy Exams for Ear Health

Regular ear health checkups are essential for maintaining clear hearing and preventing complications. An otoscopy exam allows specialists to inspect your ear canal and eardrum using a specialized device called an otoscope. At Clear Choice Hearing Solutions in Prescott Valley, AZ, we provide thorough otoscopy exams to detect potential issues early and ensure your ears remain healthy.

Identifying Ear Health Issues With Otoscopy

What can an otoscopy exam reveal? By diagnosing these conditions early, we can recommend the best course of treatment to restore your hearing and ear health. This quick, painless procedure helps identify a variety of ear health concerns, including:

Earwax Blockages – Excess wax buildup can cause muffled hearing and discomfort.

Ear Infections – Redness, swelling, or fluid buildup may indicate an infection.

Eardrum Damage – A perforated eardrum can affect hearing and cause pain.

Foreign Objects – Small objects lodged in the ear canal can lead to irritation or hearing loss.

Our Process

Using a video camera called an otoscope Mike will begin your hearing evaluation with a full inspection of your ear canals by looking inside of your ears to make sure there is no obstruction to the eardrum, like wax or any other foreign matter. In order to be able to hear clearly, our ear canals must be free from blockages, and our eardrums must be intact.
