A novel video-endoscope-guided myringotomy technique in dogs: Investigation in the value of vertical access to the tympanic membrane from beneath the patient - a pilot study

Veterinary and Animal Science, 2021
Myringotomy is a well-accepted method for diagnosing and treating otitis media in dogs having an intact tympanic membrane. In a recent study, the contamination rate of middle ear aspirates from the external ear canal via myringotomy was 67%.

Establishing critical differences in ear-canal stimulus amplitude for detecting middle ear muscle reflex activation during olivocochlear efferent measurements

International Journal of Audiology, 2020
Objective: Assessments of the medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) may have clinical utility. The MOCR is measured using contralateral inhibition of otoacoustic emissions but concurrent activation of the middle ear muscle reflex (MEMR) confounds test ...

Endoscope ear pick: An emerging but neglected medical device

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
Earwax (cerumen), a normal bodily secretion, can become a problem when it obstructs the ear canal. Earwax removal is a difficult task for specialists because of the ear's unique location and the ear canal's intricate structure. Using ear scoops or cotton

Asymmetrically severe internal auditory canal hypoplasia: A case report. [PDF]

, 2020
We present a case of an otherwise healthy 20-month-old with congenital sensorineural hearing loss. CT and MR imaging demonstrated bilateral asymmetrically severe hypoplasia of the internal auditory canals and vestibulocochlear nerves.

The Effect of Ear Canal Orientation on Tympanic Membrane Motion and the Sound Field Near the Tympanic Membrane [PDF]

, 2015
The contribution of human ear canal orientation to tympanic membrane (TM) surface motion and sound pressure distribution near the TM surface is investigated by using an artificial ear canal (aEC) similar in dimensions to the natural human ear canal.
