title: [Presentation and trial of a new medium-duration transtympanic ventilator].
abstract: A new transtympanic aerator for medium duration of use and made of flexible silicone is presented, its funnel shape preventing stagnation of plugs or allowing their simple removal. The cavity mucosa remains visible and the installation of medication is facilitated. A statistical analysis of results in 159 cases showed that it remained in place for 9 months in children and 7 months in adults on average. A total of 310 conical drains have been inserted since 1981, without any incident because they are extremely well tolerated.
