title: Past, present and future of otology.
abstract: Otology deals with hearing and balance and is an important aspect of the special senses of the human system. We are proud to be Otologists since we can restore the hearing of millions of people who have hard of hearing. In the past for several centuries, till the 1960s and 70s, Otology's development was like a flat curve. We have heard of several cases of brain abscess and neurological complications as a sequelae to CSOM. These events are declining.
