What instrument do you use to look into an ear?

  1. Ophthalmoscope

  2. Otoscope

  3. Stethoscope

  4. Thermometer

The correct answer is: Otoscope

An otoscope is a medical instrument specifically designed to look into the ear. An ophthalmoscope is used to examine the inside of the eye, not the ear. A stethoscope is used to listen to heart and lung sounds and cannot be used to look into the ear. A thermometer is used to measure body temperature and is not a visual instrument.
