1. Why would I choose hearScope over a traditional otoscope?

• hearScope is an affordable digital otoscope that connects directly to a smartphone and desktop. Images and videos are immediately available to show to the patient or upload to an electronic health record. Showing patients the pathology that is present in their ear canal or eardrum in real-time, makes hearScope a powerful patient counseling tool. hearScope is also an effective academic training tool while teaching students aspects of ear anatomy and pathology.

2. Which devices are compatible with hearScope?

• The hearScope mobile application is compatible with most Android smartphones and tablets as well as Linux, Windows and Mac desktops. iPhone is currently not compatible with the hearScope.

3. Who can use hearScope?

• hearScope is a medical device primarily used by healthcare professionals such as medical practitioners, community health workers, and nurses. It can also be used by non-professionals if they receive proper training and adhere to the instructions provided in the user manual. 

4. Is it safe to use hearScope?

• Yes, hearScope is designed and manufactured in compliance with medical device standards, including ISO 13485, which ensures adherence to good manufacturing practices. When used correctly and in accordance with the instructions provided in the user manual, along with appropriate training, hearScope is considered safe to use. It has been designed to minimize any potential risks or unintended hazards to the user. However, as with any medical device, it is important to follow the recommended guidelines and use hearScope responsibly.

5. Can hearScope be used only on adults?

• hearScope can be used on individuals of various age groups, including adults. The device is shipped with a set of small (3 mm), medium (4 mm), and large (5 mm) reusable specula (tips) that are suitable for most ear sizes. These sizes are generally sufficient for individuals over the age of 5 years old. However, it's important to consider that there may be exceptions based on the specific size, length, and curvature of an individual's ear canal.

6. When will the AI image classification feature be available?

• hearX® has released a BETA version of the AI image classification feature in 2020. The AI image classification feature is able to classify normal tympanic membranes, wax obstruction, chronic perforations, and abnormal tympanic membranes. Abnormal refers to a high possibility of pathology being present. Please note that this is a free BETA version for research use only and is not intended to diagnose. Always seek medical attention from a healthcare professional when any symptoms are present.

7. What ear conditions will be diagnosed using the AI image classification feature?

• The conditions include normal eardrums, wax obstructions, chronic perforations, and abnormal tympanic membranes. We are continuously improving this feature to be able to classify more pathologies, such as acute otitis media and otitis media with effusion.
