ResumoAbstract Our method of telescopic video‐otoscopy using a telescope (Hopkins) and a compact home video camera is presented. Telescopic video‐otoscopy is a most effective method of demonstrating and documenting the anatomy and pathology of the tympanic membrane, ear canal, and mastoid cavity. It is of considerable value for teaching, patient counseling, and making a permanent record. It obtains instantaneously a video print‐out either in black‐and‐white or in color of video images of telescopic otoscopy. A simple and economical method of telescopic pneumatic otoscopy (pneumatic teleotoscopy) is also described. Telescopic video otoscopy combined with the use of a video printer is a useful addition to the clinical practice of otology.
