The Wispr by WiscMed® is a new, innovative digital otoscope that solves the shortcomings of other devices. It delivers reliable access and a clear view of small or partially obstructed ear canals that are otherwise inaccessible with other otoscopes.
The ear exam procedure remains similar to traditional otoscopes although you will likely find that the exam is faster, easier and more accurate with the Wispr. The Wispr Digital Otoscope is truly the first of its kind, it features:
PPE-Friendly Ear Exams. The Wispr Digital Otoscope’s LCD touchscreen provides an expanded, arms length view of the eardrum so it does not require your eye to be directly adjacent to the patient’s face. See the Wispr in use with PPE here.
Pediatric Mode: Improve patient interaction with seven pre-loaded images meant to appeal to children.
The Wispr 30-day Buy & Try Guarantee – each Wispr Digital Otoscope purchase comes with:
PPE-Friendly Ear Exams: The Wispr allows you to add physical distance between you and the patient while delivering an effective ear exam.
Improved Patient Care: The Wispr helps you see what you’ve been missing and can be a valuable tool for improving both access & diagnosis in challenging ear exams.
Improved Access: The Wispr’s thin speculum geometry provides comfortable access. Disposable tips easily dispense from existing wall units.

“Our hope is that the availability of digital otoscopy in the office setting may improve our diagnostic skills and therefore lead to more judicious use of antimicrobials. This remains to be seen. Prospective studies need to be done, but it’s an exciting development.”

Chair, Department of Pediatrics

“This is truly amazing. As a parent who was able to benefit from this technology in the Emergency Department, I can attest to how it enhanced the overall visit.”

The Wispr is optimized to operate with Welch Allyn® Wall Mount Units and Welch Allyn Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery Handles. These are the recommended power sources for powering your Wispr Digital Otoscope. In addition, the Wispr can be utilized with the Heine otoscope power handle.
If you do not currently own a compatible power handle for the Wispr, we recommend purchasing a Welch Allyn Lithium Ion Rechargeable Handle.

Pediatric mode enables the display of seven pre-loaded images meant to appeal to children. This feature can be used to build patient comfort prior to the otoscopy exam, “What do you think I’ll see in your ear?”, or to have a light moment with the patient or the family after the exam, “Look what I found in your ear!” Pediatric mode is optional and by default is turned off.
It is implemented such that it will not interfere with your normal clinical flow. Pediatric Mode Video Link
NOTE: Pediatric mode is only available with software versions 0.01.084 and higher. Software upgrades are available here in customer support.
