Abstract

Performing and interpreting otoscopy is a core clinical skill for any healthcare practitioner who looks after children. However, training and experience can vary hugely, which affects the accuracy of diagnosis. This article aims to succinctly explain how to correctly perform and interpret findings of otoscopy. We include clinical examples of hearing loss, fever and the recurrent or persistently discharging ear.
