Evaluation of Ear with a Otoscope
The otoscopic exam is performed by gently pulling the auricle upward and backward.
In children, the auricle should be pulled downward and backward. This process will
move the acoustic meatus in line with the canal. Hold the otoscope like a pen/pencil
and use the little finger area as a fulcrum. This prevents injury should the patient turn
suddenly.
Inspect the external auditory canal.
