Abstract
Debate has currently re-emerged following a renewed warning issued from the
Committee on the Safety of Medicines (CSM) regarding the relative risk of
ototoxicity from the use of aminoglycoside-containing drops in patients wit
h tympanic membrane perforations. We present the findings of a survey of EN
T consultants. questioning their views and current practice, and we add to
the debate by means of a review and discussion of the literature.
