The ear examination model is a highly realistic training tool specifically designed for teaching in otolaryngology, general practice, and nursing. It provides learners with a safe, intuitive, and repeatable clinical skills practice environment through realistic examples of external auditory canal structure, tympanic membrane morphology, and common lesions. The model can be used for otoscopy examination, light source adjustment, lesion identification and teaching of basic diagnostic skills, and is a key device for cultivating the standardization of clinical operations.
In medical colleges and universities, ear examination models are used to help students become familiar with the direction of the external auditory canal, tympanic membrane landmarks and normal structural features, and to improve the stability of otoscope manipulation and observation ability. In hospitals and training institutions, the model can serve as a skills training platform for resident physicians, general practitioners and nursing staff, used to practice examination procedures, lesion diagnosis and patient communication skills. At the same time, it is also suitable for health education, ear care courses and popular science exhibitions, and is used to display common lesions such as otitis media and cerumen impaction.
Ear examination models, by providing a realistic operation experience, help improve the accuracy of clinical examinations and reduce the rate of misdiagnosis. They are indispensable auxiliary tools in otology teaching and skills training.
