The external of the ear seems something simple but inside it, the auditory functioning is extremely complex and complicated. Just like any other organ of the body the ears might have some malfunctioning due to an injury or damage. It is very difficult to find out what has actually happened inside the ear as it is quite deep inside the ear and all full of irregular, twisting and turning canals. It requires some specialized devices to peep into the ear. This device is referred to as Otoscope. The other name for the said is auriscope.

Just like other otoscopes, Heine mini 3000 of Team Medical Supplies consists of two basic parts like the head and the handle. As the interior of the ears has to be examined and it is quite dark within the ear as both the internal regions are comparatively dark and away from sight, therefore, the head is fitted with a tiny torchlight thing that is further facilitated by the magnifying lens. There is a speculum in the front as well. The doctor uses the specula to make space and widen the ear opening leading to the interior of the ear.  As space widens the doctor is able to magnify the interior and see with the help of the light. As the lens enlarges the internal organs the doctor gets a brighter and better image of the internal happenings. The otoscope can be used along with the other accessories to clean the ear.
