	Otological drain tube - US Patent 5851199 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		An otological drain tube which is capable of being implanted in the ear drum to vent the differential pressure that can build up across the ear drum as the result of blocked eustachian tubes, a buildup of internal liquid pressure in the inner ear due to illness, or a change in atmospheric pressure.
		The otological drain tube of claim 1, whereby the cost to manufacture is significantly less, and typically 16 percent of heretofore known otological drain tubes of metallic construction.
		This invention relates to otological drain tubes which are capable of being implanted in the ear drum to vent the differential pressure which builds up across the ear drum as the result of blocked eustachian tubes, a buildup of internal liquid pressure due to illness, accident, or a change in atmospheric pressure.

	Patent 5137523: Otological drain tube
		It is another object of this invention to provide an otological drain tube which can be surgically sterilized; the otological drain tube material is acceptable for sterilization and the construction is formed to prevent cavities therein which would not have drain flow.
		Removal of the otological drain tube 2 is by the reverse process after separating the membrane from the drain tube 2.
		In a design of an otological drain tube 2, three (3) drain holes 18 were made 0.005 inches in diameter, 0.085 inches in length, and placed on a 0.045 inch diameter circle.

	CP #2002-037834
		As far as petitioner’s otological exam is concerned, petitioner was examined by Dr. Gerald West as an otological expert on his own behalf and Dr. S.
		In testing petitioner’s hearing, both doctors performed otological testing for the hearing and their examinations and test results were placed into evidence as P-2 for Dr. West and R-3 for Dr. Westerman.
		In review of their otological exams, it is clear that both doctors show that petitioner has what is classically known as an occupational dip.

	Regulatory Impact and Regulatory Flexibility Analysis: Final Rule 30 CFR Parts 62 ; RIN 1219-AA53
		An otological exam would need to be performed on 264 metal/nonmetal miners and 220 coal miners.
		Section 62.170(a) requires the operator to refer the miner for a clinical audiological evaluation or an otological examination if a valid audiogram cannot be obtained due to a medical pathology caused or aggravated by the miner's exposure to noise or the wearing of hearing protectors.
		Section 62.170(b) requires the operator to inform the miner of the need for an otological examination if a valid audiogram cannot be obtained due to a medical pathology of the ear which is unrelated to the miner's exposure to noise or the wearing of hearing protectors.

	Otological complications following basal skull fractures
		The study looks at the incidence of significant otological symptoms reported during the admission and we review the subsequent patient management.
		In the seriously head injured patient, it is important not to overlook the management of non life threatening injuries in an attempt to try and improve their subsequent quality of life.
		Unrecognised otological complications are one such group of injuries which, if left uncorrected, may add to the difficulties in rehabilitation, and adversely affect the overall quality of life.

	Ovid: Doyle: Laryngoscope, Volume 109(2, Part 1).February 1999.324-328
		Study Design: This was a prospective, experimental study of the relationship between illness and otological complications during experimental upper respiratory virus infection in 316 adult volunteers.
		In studies with different viruses, experimental infection caused sequential otological complications that were consistent with a causal pathway leading from virus infection to otitis media via the intermediate development of eustachian tube dysfunction and middle ear underpressure.
		13,14 The data for infection, illness, and one measure of an otological complication (abnormal middle ear underpressure) were used to define the relative frequencies of infected subjects reporting illness, developing complications, and developing complications in the absence of illness.

	Who Pays For Audiograms Used In Schools?
		The parents are instructed to take their children for audiological and otological examinations at their own expense.
		I know from my own personal experience in this regard that parents not only do not have to pay for the audiological services that are related to school, but they also do not have to make the arrangements and/or transport, either.
		Parents continue to report that they receive notes directing them to take their child for an audiological and/or otological evaluation, and they naively forfeited wages to take time off from work to do so, and pay for the evaluations, themselves.

	The Virtual Temporal Bone
		Training otological surgeons and planning surgical procedures for the middle-ear are two activities that require extensive use of cadavers; surgeons often re-train and plan procedures employing cadavers, while medical students use cadavers to acquire necessary surgical skills.
		However, high-fidelity computer-based modelling, simulation and visualization systems can be used to augment such activities, thereby reducing the cost of training, and giving greater flexibility for clinicians and clinicians-to-be to explore and design procedures[1].
		Training costs are reduced as fewer cadavers are required for training otological surgeons; this is especially critical as cadavers are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain.
