Otoscan is a 3D ear scanner that captures the shape of the ear using noninvasive laser technology, transforming more than one million data points into a high-resolution 3D digital file. In place of traditional silicone impressions, a hearing care professional guides a handheld probe around the ear canal and outer ear, with live video of the scan on screen. The result is a precise digital record of the patient’s ear that supports custom in-ear products.
A noninvasive 3D ear scanner that replaces messy ear impressions with fast, high-resolution digital scans for custom in-ear products – with three solutions designed to meet different practice, workflow and IT needs.This digital workflow shortens turnaround times, reduces remake rates by 33 to 50 percent compared with the market average, and gives clinicians a memorable way to engage patients during counseling. Used in a single practice or across audiology clinics in a multi-location network, Otoscan brings the accuracy of digital scanning to everyday hearing care.
Digital ear scanning with Otocloud connectivity for a streamlined workflow from scanning to manufacturer.
Designed for multi-location hearing care networks that need centralized access, standardized protocols, enterprise-wide SSO and scalable deployment.
The Otoscan scanning experience without the cloud. Scan data is stored and managed locally, making it ideal for IT-governed organizations where cloud connectivity is not preferred or permitted.
Digital ear scanning built for modern hearing care
Otoscan combines advanced 3D ear scanning with a digital workflow designed around the needs of modern hearing care. During scanning, the handheld probe captures the ear canal and outer ear and builds a detailed 3D image in real time. From there, scan data can be managed through Otocloud or locally, depending on the Otoscan solution selected.When you choose Otoscan, you choose Natus Sensory as a partner in the shift to digital ear scanning. On-demand training videos, in-person training, and detailed guides help your team scan with confidence from the first patient, and the FlexSelect subscription bundles Otoscan, Otocloud, service, and education into a single predictable program. Backed by a global service and support network, Otoscan is a practical investment for practices raising their standard of care.
Otoscan Enterprise is the evolution of digital ear scanning into secure, scalable enterprise infrastructure. Otoscan Enterprise transforms digital ear scanning from a locally managed solution into secure, scalable enterprise infrastructure. Designed for multi-location hearing care networks, it supports integration with corporate IT environments and standardized clinical workflows across sites.

Frequently asked questions
What is a 3D ear scanner, and how does Otoscan work?
A 3D ear scanner captures the shape of the ear digitally instead of using physical impression material. Otoscan uses noninvasive laser technology to scan the ear canal and outer ear, converting more than one million data points into a high-resolution 3D digital file. The scanning process takes only a few minutes per ear and builds the 3D image on screen in real time, giving the hearing care professional a precise digital record for producing custom in-ear products.
How does 3D ear scanning compare with traditional ear impressions?
Traditional ear impressions use silicone impression material placed in the ear canal. Otoscan replaces this process with noninvasive laser scanning, providing a more comfortable digital experience for the patient. The digital workflow can help reduce remakes and removes the need to ship physical impressions, helping practices streamline the process from scanning to production.
What custom products can be made from an Otoscan scan?
A single Otoscan scan can support the production of a range of custom in-ear products, including hearing aids, earmolds, hearing protection, and in-ear monitors. The resulting high-resolution 3D digital file can be used by manufacturers to produce products based on the patient’s unique ear anatomy.
What are the three Otoscan solutions?
Otoscan is available in three configurations to meet different practice, workflow, and IT requirements. Standard Otoscan provides a connected digital ear scanning workflow using Otocloud. Otoscan Enterprise is designed for multi-location hearing care organizations that require centralized access, standardized protocols, enterprise-wide Single Sign-On (SSO), and scalable deployment. Otoscan Standalone provides a cloudless option for organizations that cannot or prefer not to use a cloud-based solution, allowing scan data to be stored and managed locally.
Does Otoscan require Otocloud?
Not in every configuration. Standard Otoscan uses Otocloud to store and share digital scan files, and Otoscan Enterprise extends the connected workflow with centralized access and enterprise capabilities for multi-location organizations. Otoscan Standalone does not require Otocloud and allows scan data to be stored and managed locally.
What is Otocloud, and how does the digital workflow function?
Otocloud is the web-based portal used with the connected Otoscan solutions to store and share digital ear scans. Following scanning, digital scan files can be uploaded to Otocloud and shared with manufacturers for the production of custom in-ear products. Scans can also be retained digitally for future orders, helping streamline workflows and eliminate the need to ship physical impression material.
