Earcheck Middle Ear Monitor with Physician-Accuracy Review

Earcheck Middle Ear Monitor with Physician-Accuracy

(More customer reviews)
This is a very helpful little device that every parent of a young child should have. I've been using EarCheck for a few years now, and has been accurate every time.
I recently had reason to doubt its results when getting a "4" and "5" readings on my child's ears after pediatrician (actually 2 different doctors within the same practice) told me that both ears are perfectly fine. However, my instinct told me to trust EarCheck over the pediatrician(s), and I insisted on referral to ENT specialist.
The visit to the ENT showed that there WAS fluid in one of the ears (it was clear fluid so there was no infection per se) and the other ear, although there was no fluid, had a "negative pressure" which also makes eardrum not function properly. ENT was concerned enough to send my child for a hearing test to make sure he's hearing fine and able to progress in his speech development. (luckily, by the time of hearing test the problem resolved by itself, Earcheck was showing green light "1" in both ears, and hearing test results were fine)
I recommend this device to any parent of infant/toddler.
UPDATE: A GREAT PRODUCT *AND* GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!
recently, after about 3 years my Earcheck stopped functioning. Let me just say - it got into the wrong hands. My boys love playing doctor with it, and they don't treat their toys gently... So i took a shot and contacted customer service to see if it could be repaired. The warranty was only for 1 year, and it had definitely been longer than that, so i didn't have much hope... They replied within hours, and told me to send the device to them along with the copy of receipt (which i found in my old e-mails - now i know why i never delete anything). A couple of weeks later i received a brand new EarCheck monitor! (wasn't even charged shipping)

Safety 1st Prograde Clear View Ear Scope Review

Safety 1st Prograde Clear View Ear Scope
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Bought this earscope to use on our 4-month old infant, but can't see down to her eardrum. We took it to the doctor with us and asked him to show us how to use it, and he said it was useless: the infant tip is too short to see the eardrum, and the longer tips are too fat to fit in a baby's ear canal.

Apothecary Eazy Care Medi-Scope, Magnifying Light - 1 kit Review

Apothecary Eazy Care Medi-Scope, Magnifying Light - 1 kit

I purchased this same exact otoscope set at Walgreens a couple months ago for around $10 and was not impressed. I am sure it is the same kit because it looked exactly like this and it came with the same little attachments and mirror. It was all plastic and had a flimsy feel. It felt more like a fisher price toy you would buy for your child to play doctor than a functional light to see inside the ear. You had to push down on the pocket clip to get it to turn on. You could see inside the ear but the view was somewhat distorted. The light was also somewhat dim. I ended up taking it back for a refund since I felt it was a waste of my money.

Hyland's Earache Drops Review

Hyland's Earache Drops
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I picked these up at our local health store because I was having an earache and they really do work. I followed the instructions and put 3-4 drops in my ear and then kept it tilted for a bit and put a cotton ball in it for 5 minutes. Before I used them I couldn't blow my nose or relieve pressure without there being pain in my right ear. After I used it I could do both with no pain. I'm not prone to earaches so I don't know much about them, but it was great to get such fast relief from one.
