what is the name of the medical device that is used to check for ear infection'
An otoscope (also known as an auriscope) is a medical instrument that allows healthcare professionals to better see the outer and middle portions of the ear. An otoscope is most commonly used to look inside the ear to look for ear wax buildup, signs of ear infection, and diagnose other issues. In young children and infants, an otoscope can diagnose issues that the child can not vocalize what is bothering them, as in the case of a baby with an ear infection.
