My ears were killing me. I've been to the ER, ER, and my doctor, and everyone kept telling me it was an infection and putting me on antibiotics. I was scared to death of being put into a fourth round and seeing them fail again... I decided to buy this device so I could have a look. This allowed me to see what was going on and give me peace of mind knowing there was indeed a problem and making the necessary arrangements to see a specialist. It's hard having to pay hundreds of dollars out of pocket, and something like this can give you and/or your GP a general idea of what to do next. I will bring the camera to my appointment tomorrow and hope the doctor has some answers for me. My ears feel like they're about to explode and my Eustacheon tubes haven't opened. This is a picture of the picture taken with the device of my eardrum. Amazing quality. Even better in person. Worth every penny! Just buy it. It's such a good tool to always have with you. Update: I was able to see the specialist and brought the camera part of this device and it really helped! Now I got the right medication and it's looking good! :) :)
