Abstract
In middle ear surgery via the permeatal approach, aural specula are fr equently used to improve visualization of the operative field. Mechani cal holders designed for retaining the aural speculum, are expensive a nd require sterilization for reuse. A simple technique for retaining t he speculum which overcomes the drawbacks of a mechanical holder is de scribed.
