USUALLY, I can hear just fine using the adult side on babies, however there have been times where it was difficult to make a tight seal, and I was able to convert the bell to a pediatric diaphragm which helped greatly."
"My first semesters I had the SE Classic II and it was wonderful. Not only can I hear great lung and heart sounds on adults, but also on peds, CHF patients, and others."
"Same ole Littmann quality but at wonderful Amazon price!"
"Got this for nursing school which starts next month!"
"Bought this for my daughter as a graduation gift."
"The Littmann Classic III is a standard in to medical providers, nurses and assistants."
"The sound is crystal clear, easy to use, and easy to clean."
"the pediatric diaphragm is long gone; the adult one has fallen off few times and I happen to see it rolling, but I expect it'll soon be lost in some hosp hallway."

"To extend the life of the electrode, be sure to put it back on the plastic film and reseal the ziplock bag."
"When I remove the electrodes, I moisten the gel part a little, then place them sticky side down on a piece of clear plastic--the electrodes and plastic thast they stick to slide into the zip-lock type bag for storage."
"Perfect replacement pads for my pads that failed within a few days of purchasing that "reputable" company's whole new package unit from a quality Amazon vendor."

Find Best Price at Amazon"By far the easiest thermometer to use."
"I replaced my last one since the difference was often more than 2 degrees F which is too big a difference to depend on! This is important to us since I better understand body temp in F, my wife in C. 4) Includes 21 lens covers, which are replaceable covers that cover the tip of the device (20 in box + 1 on device). 5) Comes with a nice plastic holder that both stores the box of additional lens covers, as well as protects the piece that enters your ear. 3) No guidance on temperatures. This isn't a big concern for myself since I easily understand body temperatures, but I do admit to missing the sound of the instant indication (like on my last) of the seriousness of the recording. Neither Pro/Con: This device uses consumables - namely, the plastic lens covers. The plastic at the tip of the ear cup is quite thin, so care needs to be taken and if any breaks are noticed it should definitely be replaced immediately."
"Also, we used a rectal and a forehead one for our baby daughter, this is way more accurate than the forehead one and way less intrusive than the rectal one."
"In my view, this is the best thermometer on the market."
"Purchased this to replace previous model, it is much faster but also a little more touchy than the old version."
"I have seriously gone through 10+ thermometers since my daughter was born 2 years ago."
"easy to use, but not very accurate."
"Very simple to use and works great!"

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Unfortunately the LED is bright white (think daylight) and it's too overpowering that it makes the eardrum look pearly white and Ina ble to distinguish a normal TM vs an infected one. I think in my opinion the incandescent light is able to portray a better visual definition of human tissues than LED and that makes the WA is a far better otoscope in detecting changes in TM than the dr. Moms. Mom would switch out the bright white led to the soft white led (since most Christmas LED lights have soft whites) and have an option to dim the LED brightness which would make the light much less harsh as LED innately are very bright. While the WA is overpriced especially considering an otoscope is a light with a magnifying glass, if dr.mom could make these changes and even sell them for $60-70 it would be a good competitor to the WA."
"Not Welch Allyn by any means, but it is excellent for doing a quick assessment of my kids’ ears at home to determine if a Dr. Office visit is warranted."
"I bought this three years ago for my brother's family so they could learn to identify ear infections in my 18-month-old nephew, who wasn't speaking yet."
"I never used it but after I bought it, my friend who is a nurse practitioner said that she does not advise someone with no medical training to use this device, especially for young children."
"The light from the otoscope has a blue tint and the colors appear flatter (lower apparent CRI - Color Rendition Index) compared to the LED flashlight. Other reviewers noticed the same blue LED tint, for example the previous review here from Kenneth S. Raper, MD where he writes "Also the LED is blue-ish instead of white. Update: after I posted this review, the manufacturer posted messages trying to attack me on a personal level simply because I didn't like the blue LED. Many fraudsters will post hundreds of positive reviews, but the truth can be hidden in that one genuine negative review thread.""
