i need to purchase disposable ear speculums and an insulflator bulb as well. Any recommendations as to which type/brand fit with this kit?

Here is our website where insufflation bulbs and specula can be purchased. Also Welch Allyn Specula will work with the specula adaptor that comes with the kit. http://www.insufflatorbulb.com/

NO, sorry i cannot help you with that, i bought this device just to have the chance to observe the progression of my child`s ears, not with the intention to do any treatment, so i have not use any apliances or devices with it. i apollogize.

Dear Chris, this item contains the speculum but not contain the insuflator bulb

The best way would have been to try the various sizes you received with the assortment of tip types and sizes. If you don't have any of the original sizes, you may have to look for a a pack that has multiple sizes. The downside is you will end up with 2 pair that don't fit. I imagine medium is the most common size. If your earhole looks smaller or larger than others', use that as a gage.

I would recommend to go to the website http://www.medschoolsupply.com/specula.htm that is what the otoscope manufacturer recommended. I bought some from there and they fit perfectly.

I did use the ones they provided. BUT I also used my regular hearing aid battery (Size 312) and it lasted much longer and was clearer. I also had the rechargeable B&H 8397 but it lasted 4 hours at most and needed recharging. I used the B&H 8397 replacing my Siemans hearing aid which was over $4000. The B&H 8397 worked far better and I used it (bought several as I lost the cover or it fell out when I did not have it inserted good or was doing not usual things so it dis-anchored. The B&H 8397 served me extremely well and I still keep it handy for emergencies as I purchased a new Phonak which is excellent for everything. Second answer: I answered but somehow it did not send that, Repeat: I used the 312 batteries in the B&H amplifier and it worked beautifully for about 1-1/2 years. I T=tried the cheaper ones from Amazon but not much success. They have on Amazon the 312 batteries for hearing aids (48 for $23) which should last a long time. JUst try putting in "No. 312 hearing aid batteries) and it should come up for you. I';; try it again so if you e-mail me back I will have the right thing for you if you want to try it. I was going to get a cochlear implant (scheduled for Apr 15) v=but it was cancelled as I would be out of my doctors area for a month while my son goes to France. May reschedule in the fall. If you are having trouble with hearing aids, ask your audiologist about it as an audiologist must refer one for a cochlear implant but they are permanent and do not need batteries. That is the same battery you buy from drugstores and other utlets but they cost a lot more.

I bought the otoscope for my girlfriend, who is an RN, so I haven't really looked at it. It seems to have a halogen lamp. Replacement lamps are available from Welch Allyn, from Amazon, and from other vendors.

The same thing happened to me. I spent the money on a real otoscope my last welch allen lasted more than 10 years so I bought another and threw the other one away. When I dropped it the whole case broke, the welch allen is metal so that won't happen. I would say throw it out and start over again with a brand you can trust.

They ARE relatively expensive as there are only 8 guards in each dispenser. Each guard is attached to a tiny tool that is used to remove the old one and install the new one. If you look under a microscope at the details of how they are made, they contain a tiny metal screen encapsulated in a white plastic ring that snaps on the end of your hearing aid. It keeps ear wax from getting inside the electronics and tiny speaker. A quality rubber "ear bud" will prevent ear wax from getting to the guard so that you rarely have to replace the wax guards .

I see the full dispensers with the 500 uncorded earplugs at this link on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-Earplugs-Refill-Dispenser/dp/B000E23W0O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1408552243&sr;=8-1&keywords;=Max-1-d

I use Aqua-Pure Cut-To-Fit Filter Pads by HBH. They come in polyfiber, ammonia and carbon. It's cheaper than the pre-cut ones Rena sells.I also use more bio-chem stars than what comes with the kit.Start with your mechanical filter pads (like the foam 20 & 30 PPI that come with it), then the bio-chem stars, then the chemical pads.I've been using Filstar XPs for over a decade in both fresh and salt water and I've been very happy.

I'm not sure if I've used essence series, but Philips website seems to say e-series (essence, elite, and "xtreme") are all compatible. I would assume they all fit in the sanitizer, then.

It came with 3 sizes of soft (silicone?) parts that go into the ear. They are interchangeable to get the right fit.

The Siemens is big and bulky - I have one, but prefer Westone Hearing Aid Saver - Large Size, which is 3 inches tall but only 1 3/4 inches across the top. It has the same kind of desicant inside - the plastic disk full of pellets that you put in the micro, but i find the smaller diameter more convenient.

By the way, the Sena SMH-A0302 that is shown here is great for full-face and modular helmets. If you have an open-face 3/4 helmet, the SMH-3A0301 is a better choice because of it's fixed boom mic. The SMH-A0303 would work best for shorty 1/2 helmets that have open ears because you would use your own earbuds since your ears are covered by the helmet. I've never used an audio set-up on a 1/2 helmet so I don't know how well it would work, but I do recommend the first 2 products.

The Lightning L0F is a great compact and the Thunder T3 has great noise reduction and is very comfortable.

We haven't bought any additional speculas. It comes with about a dozen, 6 each of 2 sizes. Openings of approx. 1/8" & 3/16" dia. to see into the ear canal. We have 7 year-old twins and it worked as expected. Other than that, your questions may be better suited for a doctor. Good luck.

Maybe ask some one who has extra pieces in their ear kit .Or just buy the kit and trade parts withothers .
