Abstract: An otoscope and method for visualizing compliance of the tympanic membrane in response to a pressure stimulus. The otoscope includes a handle, a housing, a laser assembly configured to selectively project a grid array of dots on a tympanic membrane of a patient, a camera configured to selectively capture activity of the tympanic membrane, a pressure transducer configured to selectively apply a stimulus to the tympanic membrane, a display pivotably coupled to the handle, and a controller. The display is configured to display the tympanic membrane in true color and a two-dimensional interpolated surface plot representing activity of the tympanic membrane in response to the stimulus.

Abstract: An otoscope includes a handle, a housing coupled to the handle and having an inlet, a laser assembly at least partially enclosed within the handle and configured to selectively project, through the inlet, a grid array of dots on a tympanic membrane of a patient, a camera supported by one of the handle or the housing and configured to selectively capture activity of the tympanic membrane, a pressure transducer supported by one of the handle or the housing and configured to selectively apply a stimulus to the tympanic membrane, a display pivotably coupled to the handle, a controller in communication with laser assembly and the display, and a microprocessor in communication with the controller, the camera, and the display. The display is configured to display the tympanic membrane in true color and a two-dimensional interpolated surface plot representing activity of the tympanic membrane in response to the stimulus.
