ABSTRACT
@#Dear Editor, The tympanic membrane and the ossicular chain contribute roughly 28 dB in hearing gain. In chronic suppurative otitis media, loss of tympanic membrane and lysis of the ossicular chain are significant causes of hearing loss.1 Through the years, hearing impairment has been augmented using various devices such as ear trumpets, carbon hearing aids, vacuum tube and transistor hearing aids, bone anchored hearing aids, and cochlear implants.2 This case report describes how a cotton wick was used to amplify sound.
