Only docked one star because the pattern wasn’t printed very well (as shown) but other than that, the whole kit is wonderful!
My sons were frequently getting ill with these winter bugs and I was always paranoid of ear infections getting missed if I didn't take them to the doctor for every cough/ cold or upper respiratory viral infection. This tool helped me better determine if they could have something viral that will pass or if they aren't getting better then maybe a secondary bacterial ear infection occurring. The toy that comes with this made it fun with my child to look in their ears as they pretended to look into their stuffy's ears.
Two kids in, both ENT frequents with allergies... I'm not sure how I didn't think to look for a caregiver - focused otoscope sooner. Our 2y says, "mom, you check my ears? I have my little telescope" carrying around the toy that comes in the set. It's a win for us for sure.
I added this to our medicine cabinet about 6 months ago and it has been so good to have on hand! The guidebook is such an amazing resource and easy to follow, especially for someone who has no medical background. Well worth the money spent!
This really helps me see into my daughter's ears to find the wax build up. I think it's better than those wax removers with the cameras.
I was so pleased with this product and it's so easy to use
We use this on our 5 month old and 2 year old, our 2 year old LOVES it! He’s always interested in helping and we love that the kit comes with a plastic toy version of the otoscope. It’s came in handy many times!
I love that I can take care of my little one at home and the thorough instructions that came with it to help guide me along the way.
It's so easy to use, hold, and see whatever it is you're looking for. The color and design is also so cute and fun, I don't mind letting it sit out on my counter.
Having an otoscope has been a life saver for my son who had a lot of ear infections. Now he has tubes but it is so nice to be able to check his ears at home before getting a doctor appointment.
We're glad to hear it!
We were so impressed with our new Deebo sprinkles otoscope. It matches all of our Lovevery toys, but more importantly it is interactive for kids. My daughter loved that she got her own version for her Doctor's Kits. The booklet has also made everything super useful. We needed something to quickly ascertain if a Doctor's visit was needed, as my daughter has tubes. Thank You!
Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear how helpful it has been.
We are so excited to only go to the doctor when our kids have ear infections instead of constantly going, thinking they might have an ear infection. The guide book is so helpful!
Great instructions and a great product, hopefully practice makes perfect
Has helped me avoid sick visits for my toddler to be told she doesn’t have an ear infection! So helpful!
We are so thrilled with our deebo otoscope and find we use it far more often than we expected. Both our sons are prone to ear infections and it is so helpful to keep an eye on their ears and know when we are actually dealing with an infection and therefore need to get a pediatrician appointment for treatment. We've used it to identify strep throat, ensure the youngest didn't actually lodge a small toy in his nose, and spotlight the removal of some ticks (on the dog and kids) and splinter removals. We find it endlessly helpful!
The play otoscope is a hit with our 18 month old-it serves as a prompt for him and makes the process more enjoyable in general.
Even my physician sister was very happy with the quality of the otoscope on a recent visit after using it on a family member.
So all of that to say, a worthwhile purchase to give you piece of mind and empower you to be a better health care consumer!
I was looking for an otoscope to have at home and everything I found previously was incredibly expensive. I just wanted something reliable but effective, so I could save a pediatrician trip and check to see if the ear grabbing was teething versus an infection. Daughter is 20 months old, have used this countless times especially when molars were coming in and we were especially fussy. I am a CRNP, so am used to hospital grade otoscopes and while obviously this is not a $4K Welch otoscope, it serves the purpose I needed it for. Highly recommended, coming from a HCP.
So excited to have the Deebo in our health kit for my toddler! she goes to daycare and has picked up many sicknesses over the years. I'm excited to have a tool similar to our pediatrician's as a first step in determining if I'm overly worried about a sickness / my child pulling at her ear or complaining that something is in her ear or if there looks to be something going on in the ear that would warrant me making an appointment. We also had several bouts of strep last year and I can see how the Deebo and its flashlight positioning will be great for examining the throat if I'm concerned about that in the future!
I also really appreciate the book of info, which is valuable in understanding common peds medical issues on its own and information that certainly did not come with my other otoscope off Amazon. (I would google pictures of normal and abnormal ear drums instead, which can actually take quite a bit of time out of your day, esp. if you are worried about your kid!)
I bought this after trying blueberry pediatrics as a way to avoid unnecessary pediatrician visits for ear infection. This product has proven to be 100x more helpful than being able to speak to a pediatrician about symptoms. The little book it comes with is fantastic and the quality of the otoscope is another level above any of the other products I’ve tried. While I still believe in relying on a doctor, this allows me to avoid some unnecessary visits when I can compare day by day what’s in the ear. I can’t say enough positive things about this product.
Also the little child play otoscope it comes with is so cute!
I just purchased one after two grueling years of ear infections for my younger child. Within days I was using this to help identify that something looked off in my older son's ears. Sure enough, he had an ear infection. Ear infections have left me feeling helpless for a while, and I feel empowered to at least check now what's going on. Really glad I purchased this product!
Deebo has been a fantastic addition to our home. I have used the otoscope on both of my kids (6 and 2 ½ years old) and found it to be highly effective. I was very impressed with the light and magnification which provided a bright and clear view of the ear canal and eardrum. It has a durable yet light-weight design making it easy to handle. The guide is easy to follow and includes high quality images which really helps distinguishing between normal conditions and potential issues such as an ear infection or a clogged ear tube. As a parent and physician, I appreciate the company’s initiative to give parents the tools and knowledge needed to make informed decisions about their children's health.
We love our otoscope. It’s both user friendly and fun. We needed it soon after receiving it and it helped so much when calling the nurse to explained what was going on with my daughter. She wasn’t at all bothered by it since the doctors office had used something similar and she loved being able to use the toy one on her stuffy at the same time.
Deebo is a conscientious, well curated and extremely practical medical instrument. I was able to quickly diagnose swimmers ear for my nine-year-old daughter, and look up remedies at home. She quickly recovered the next day, all thanks to the simplicity of the otoscope, paired with the beautifully illustrated and informative instruction guide .
Deebo is the epitome of the democratization of basic medical knowledge and personal accountability at home.
As a mom of 2, I can’t count how many times I’ve wondered if my kids’ obvious discomforts were the result of teething, respiratory viruses, ear infections, strep- or all of the above! It’s especially difficult to discern during those first few years, when they can’t tell you what’s going on yet. Growing tired of losing time and money spent running to the pediatrician to be told “It’s nothing serious, you gotta wait it out,” I had started to wish I had my own otoscope (and some sort of training on how to use it). When a mom friend posted about Deebo and how it’s saved her from the same frustrating scenarios, it was like a prayer had been answered! I love this product and the easy to understand book that comes with it. Just yesterday I was able to determine my daughter did in fact have an ear infection, and that a trip to get an official diagnosis would not be a waste of everyone’s time! Thank you, Minni & everyone at Deebo for taking some of the guess work out of this tired mom’s week!
This is a great tool to have at home - the amount of times I’ve taken my kids to the doctor for them to tell me “ears are clear” - this is definitely going to save money and time! Thank you deebo!
I have never had an otoscope in my medicine cabinet before but now that I do, I can’t remember what I did before this. I first bought it to check on my son’s ear tubes and thanks to this otoscope, I actually saved him a surgery. I had scheduled a surgery to remove his ear tubes but after monitoring the tubes daily with this otoscope, I felt like they were starting to come out naturally and on their own. I made the decision to postpone the surgery by a month so I could continue monitoring the tubes and in that time, his tubes fell out!! For such a small cost, I not only saved a surgery that would’ve cost thousands but also so much time and unnecessary surgery. I now use the otoscope to check on ear infections, wax, and sore throats. I love it and highly recommend keeping this tool at your fingertips if you’re a parent of young kids.
