Abstract
A head-mounted mirror assembly includes a semi-rigid headband having a pair of free ends, each having a fastener proximal thereto for adjustably fastening the band around a wearer's head. A pair of shafts, each with an adjustable mirror at a distal end, extends outwardly from the band. Mounted on each shaft, near the mirror, is an LED having a light output directed toward the headband. To view an ear, a user secures the headband to the head and positions one of the mirrors to align with the ear and the other mirror to substantially align with the nearest eye. Each mirror is adjusted so that the wearer can easily view a desired portion of the ear by observing the mirror in front of the eye. If necessary, the wearer can activate the LED on the side mirror to direct a light beam into the ear cavity.
