      Can pneumatic otoscope damage the ear when the doctor does the ear examination? That device blows air into ear right?

      Can the other "ear examinations" damage the ear?

      I doubt it, i've been to an ENT and had a few tests done. The loudest one involved blowing air on to your ear drum but it lasts about one second but it didn't have any effect on t.
