Why the Vorotek O Scope is a great tool when making imprints of the earcanal
To prevent plasticine from reaching the eardrum when making impressions, hearing care professionals place a cotton ball. This can be a traditional cotton ball or a modern Phonak EasyView Otoblock.
If you use a traditional cotton ball or if you use a video otoscope whose speculum does not fit into the Phonak EasyView Otoblock, it is important that you can see well binocularly into the ear canal.
For that, you use the Vorotek O Scope. This is the head-worn microscope that ensures you have the entire ear canal in focus and can view it with both eyes.
4 ways you can use the Vorotek O Scope in your hearing store
The Vorotek O Scope gives instant vision with depth/ sharpness of the ear canal and eardrum and you have both hands free to work. These are the 4 main reasons why a hearing care professional deploys the Vorotek O Scope:
- Remove earwax with the microsuction pump and curette or hook
- Domes or other corpus alienum removal
- Watts placement such as the Phonak EasyView Otoblock
- In-The-Ear (ITE) such as the Starkey Omega AI or Completely-in-Canal (CIC) hearing aids such as the Phonak Lyric places
