Video otoscope gallery — normal vs. wax-impacted ear canals
At your free hearing check, Mark uses a tiny video otoscope so you can watch your own ear canal on screen in real time. Drag the slider below to see the difference a clear canal makes — and why we always look before we test.

Clear canals, healthy eardrums fully visible.

From mild buildup to fully blocked canals.

Normal vs. wax-impacted, side by side
Slide left for a clear canal, right for a fully impacted one.
Same patient, two outcomes. A clear canal lets sound through; impacted wax can mimic hearing loss until it's gently removed.
Sample gallery
NormalA clean, open ear canal with a healthy pearly-gray eardrum fully visible. Nothing blocking sound from reaching it — what we hope to see at every check.
We look before we test
Wax can block sound and skew your results. Mark checks the canal first so your hearing test reflects your true hearing — not a temporary blockage.
You see what we see
The otoscope feeds to a screen in the room. You watch your own ear canal live, ask questions, and understand exactly what's there.
Often a simple fix
Muffled hearing from impacted wax can clear up once the canal is gently cleaned — sometimes before any hearing aid is even considered.
