Abstract

An otoscope for performing ear examinations on small children includes a handle portion, a viewing head and a speculum in addition to a toy-like object for distracting the child prior to or during the examination. The toy-like object may resemble an animal, such as a bear, dog or pig. The otoscope will appear less foreign and threatening to small children than those which are presently being used. As a result, an ear examination with the improved otoscope can be performed more safely and efficiently than was heretofore possible.
