Otoscopes

Anyone have an otoscope that they are super happy with that did not cost an arm and a leg?

i have several otoscopes - it's a long story... the expensive welch allyn is of course the lovely one - but i find that i tend to reach for the $120 pico light that i got out of the shgool health catalogue most often.

I need a cheapo. It's called pico light?

I have this one too:

as my W/A one broke and i had a temper tantrum when it came to budget time. I have to say that for 60 bucks, this one isn't terrible. I like the piccolight better but this one gets the job done too if you really want an otoscope at bargain basement prices

Thanks for the recommendation. I won't use one enough to justify taking away from education $ for something I may use a half dozen times / year. Like to hear reviews before buying blind.

My WA was broken when I started in August. I've figured a very inconvenient way to use my penlight to stand in for the broken like on the scope itself but it sucks. I really need to bite the bullet and buy a new one. Maybe at the end of the year I will see how much money I have left in my budget and order one.

"I didn't see any indication of an infection but my equipment isn't the best" has become my catchphrase when calling home about earaches.

I have a nice plug in welch allyn

Moi aussi. I like those Picos, though.
