The survey consisted of three fictional patient cases, each of which was presented with images taken using the otoscopes studied. Respondents assessed the image quality on a visual analog scale (VAS), assessing its appropriateness for teleconsultations and comparing images taken using different otoscopes to one another.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In total, 98 individuals responded, consisting of 81 ENT specialists and 17 ENT residents. The CellScope Oto and Digital MacroView received higher VAS scores for image quality and appropriateness for teleconsultations than the FireFly and Delfino otoscopes (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt;\u2009.001 for all comparisons). Respondents considered the CellScope Oto more appropriate for teleconsultations for exostoses than the three other otoscopes. The CellScope Oto and Digital MacroView were equally appropriate in the two other cases (normal ear and perforated tympanic membrane).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Both digital otoscopes and the underlying otological conditions affect the appropriateness of teleconsultations. Moreover, both factors should be considered when evaluating the suitability of otologic teleconsultations. Among the otoscopes evaluated, images taken using the CellScope Oto received the best overall assessments.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Level of Evidence<\/jats:title><jats:p>NA <jats:bold><jats:italic>Laryngoscope, 130:1572\u20131576, 2020<\/jats:italic><\/jats:bold><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.28340","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,31]],"date-time":"2019-10-31T12:11:23Z","timestamp":1572523883000},"page":"1572-1576","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["A Comparison of Four Digital Otoscopes in a Teleconsultation Setting"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"130","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2249-0621","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magnus","family":"T\u00f6tterman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head &amp; Neck Surgery Helsinki University Hospital and University of Helsinki  Helsinki Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sakari","family":"Jukarainen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine Helsinki University Hospital and University of Helsinki  Helsinki Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saku T.","family":"Sinkkonen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head &amp; Neck Surgery Helsinki University Hospital and University of Helsinki  Helsinki Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1178-5715","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tuomas","family":"Klockars","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head &amp; Neck Surgery Helsinki University Hospital and University of Helsinki  Helsinki Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","unstructured":"American Telemedicine Association.
