Aural ventilation tube insertion is the most common otological operation and is usually the first operation learnt by trainees. The limited supply of temporal bones as well as expensive commercial models hampers training in the procedure. This paper describes a simple solution making a model of the ear canal and drum out of materials available on an ENT ward.
