Opti-Ear

This is a device that optically determines the redness of the tympanic membrane. Such redness is often associated with middle ear infections. This device is intended to be a home-use device to assist parents in determining ear redness as an indication to take their child to a physician for examination. In this study, the OPTI-EAR device will be used to take redness reading of children's ears with confirmed cases of ear infection and confirmed cases of no ear infection to determine the devices ability to distinguish the two groups.
