A battery-powered, hand-held device intended for: 1) visual examination of the outer ear canal and tympanic membrane (eardrum) by direct viewing through the ear opening; and 2) evaluation of hearing by generating tones throughout the audible range (usually at each octave between 125 Hz and 8 kHz) at amplitudes related to the expected thresholds for a normally hearing person, and presenting them to a patient (pure-tone audiometery). It consists of a handle that contains the batteries (which may be rechargeable), a built-in light to illuminate the ear canal, a pitch generator (speaker), and is intended to be used with a detachable ear speculum which may be included. This is a reusable device.
