We neither ask for nor pay for endorsements, but we get a lot of them anyway. Over the years countless medical providers (Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Physicians Assistants, Midwives, Family Doctors, Pediatricians) have used our products and have suggested that parents use our Earscopes too. Our models work, they're inexpensive and they do what we say they will. We are delighted that this simple, effective tool helps so many. We continue to get wonderful mail from parents (and providers too) who tell us that we have saved them anguish, time and money. Here are a few samples from our file of unsolicited testimonials:

''I've discovered it is an invaluable tool in enabling me to get my son to the pediatrician before an ear infection becomes a major problem. Thanks again for a GREAT product.''

''We have lost our EARscope and we are lost without it.''

''I have one and like it very much. It does the same job as a $150 model.'' (a nurse)

''It is so frustrating to have a sick child and not be able to tell what is hurting them. Thank you for developing this tool and making it available at such a reasonable cost.''

''It a real time saver (in needless trips to the doctor). ''

''I have placed one in a local family home. It has been a Godsend for them to be able to check the child ear each week. '' (a nurse)

''What a neat & elegant little instrument!''

''I have wanted one for years, especially since my kids have been earache prone. Now you have one for sale for less than the cost of a doctor visit.''

''A nurse practitioner friend said your otoscope is great. Send me one.''

''I had a favorable response from my patients regarding the home use of the otoscope - and feel that an additional dozen will be needed to accommodate them. '' (an MD)

''This instrument has been a great asset to me in the daily uses that helps me make my day care services very special... I would be lost without my EARscope.''

We make otoscopes for both medical providers and for home users. That means that these units are easy enough to use for lay people, but good enough for professionals who use them all the time. We are uniquely listed as a device source in a major home-health publication: The Healthwise Handbook (A Self-Care Manual For You) by Healthwise Inc. of Boise, Idaho. This handbook is distributed nationwide by HMO such as Kaiser Foundation Health Plan. And yes, we are licensed and inspected under FDA guidelines like other medical device companies.

Many of you have kids, grand kids, and neighbors or friends whose children have ear problems. We ask that you share this information with them to give them more of a choice. We hope that you (or they) won't need us, but we are here if you do. For more information about our products contact us by phone, mail or .
