All of the following can be achieved by the use of siegel's speculum during examination of the ear, EXCEPT:
Siegel's speculum has an eyepiece, which is a convex lens with a magnification of 2.5 times. The eyepiece is connected to an aural speculum. It is not used to remove foreign body from the ear. Indications: It is used to provide a magnified view of ear drum, to test mobility of ear drum by varying the pressure of external canal, to suck out middle ear secretions in patients with chronic serous ottitis media and to instill ear drops into the middle ear.
