Sometimes the knob on the back end will unscrew, but you will still need a funnel.

It's called an Ear speculum. Very handy for filling a powder horn or other things with very small openings. Google the term to find them for sale if your doctor won't give you one.

The same little black "funnel" is used during a hearing checkup for those of us who use hearing aids, so that is another potential source.

My doctor doesn't use that gizmo; he says he just sees the chart on the opposite wall.  ???
