Ear Spoon Endoscope

Zachary, my oldest son, has always had problems with excessive build-up of ear wax. When he was only two years old he was sent to an audiologist during his initial autism diagnosis process, because his social skills were normal and he had no noticeable delays beyond speech delays it was believed hearing troubles may have been the source of his delays. The audiologist did notice a major build up of ear wax which they had to remove in order to perform the exam and hearing tests. The results were inconclusive so he went back a total of eight times in a period of two and a half months and at every visit, he had a build-up of earwax that needed to be removed in order to perform the exam and testing. And since that point he has continued to have ear wax build-ups that need clearing at least once a month and because he does not speak it is very hard to know if he is having issues with his ears and he doesn't like letting people look in his ears. I got this little endoscope in hopes that it would help because he could look at the inside of his ear too which might fascinate him enough to get some cooperation. The endoscope is great for looking into ears of older kids and adults, though it is too large to use on smaller children. Zachary is still not fond of having his ears checked, but it is easier with this little device. I am not comfortable using the spoon attachments because I fear that if he were to move he could get hurt.



This endoscope is pretty cool, and useful too! Get one at https://touchurban.com/products/hd-visual-ear-spoon-endoscope-multifunctional-earpick-with-mini-camera-ear-health-care-cleaning-tool
