How to Buy an Otoscope
- 1). Comparison shop first. Use a site like Nextag (see Resources) that can give you an overview of which sites sell otoscopes and what they are charging. This will help you get the best price for the highest quality otoscope. Just click on the link at the bottom of this article to get to Nextag. Then type "otoscope" in the search box and click "Nextag Search."
- 2). Choose an otoscope based on your needs. There is a Dr. Mom otoscope which would be perfect for home use. This would not be good for a professional practice as doctors need a more precise otoscope to detect even the smallest defect in the middle ear. Search through the list and click on the otoscopes that seem to fit your needs. Examine the details before making a purchase.
- 3). Click "Go to Store" when you find one you want. This will take you to the store that is selling that specific otoscope. Type how many otoscopes you want to buy in the box and click "add to shopping cart." Go to the checkout area and click "checkout."
- 4). Fill in the credit card information. You will also need to fill out your shipping and billing address. Choose your shipping option. If you want your order delivered faster it will cost more. Finally, type in any promotional codes you may have that could get you a discount. Click submit and you are done.
- 5). Print out your confirmation email or save it. Keep this confirmation until you have received your otoscope and verified that it is in perfect working condition.
