What's that thing called that quacks use to look inside ones ears
at the canal/drum/wax called? Only I have a problem that I think
was caused by the doctor who examined me with one. He exherted a
considerable lateral force on the walls of the ear canal in a full
360 degrees circular motion (in both ears) causing pain that
lasted for a couple of hours. Then about a month later I get
pains and HR modulated swooshing sounds which are positional as
if there is a fluid sloshing about inside (the swooshing is gone
now) and now I am left with intermittant high tone tinnitus which
is more on than off it's almost 24hours a day. Also the side
mostly affected hurts a bit and feels slightly warm when the
tinnitus is loudest. Not only that but a month or two after the
"ear eax exam" that started all this I started getting a funny
sound in my left ear as if there was a small ball of tin foil
stuck in there which kept rustleling loudly on the slightest
movement. That would often be associated with pain in the ear.
After a couple of weeks of that it would gradually ebb away and
then if I rubbed my ear say on the pillow in bed it would make a
cracking sound as if an injury was being "opened up". There would
be pain and the tinnitus would slowly build up again. So far the
quacks have said it is imaginary. What do you think? Can an
aurascope or whatever it is called cause this kind of damage?
The hospital doctor has arranged an NMR exam for sometime in the
next 12 months to rule out AN I believe.
Thanks for your consideration.

Is it called an otoscope?
