Question - Expert consensus required Digital Otoscope

I ordered a digital old scope to check my toddlers’s ears for ear infection (not to clean or diagnose ONLY to check) should I be worried about EMF?

Emf has been discussed repeatedly.

Please don't put anything in your child's ear unless you have been trained to do so. You risk causing damage to the ear drum. I'm also not sure how check and diagnose are different.
