At this time the surgical treatment of chronic otitis media, Ménière's disease, otosclerosis and tympanoplasty wasstarted. Understanding of aseptic technique, the possibility to perform patient's anesthe-sia, new lighting techniques, microsurgical instruments and operating microscope haveexpanded surgical capabilities of otologists. The discovery of antibiotics and sulfonami-des improved possibilities for the treatment of ear infections and their complications.High-resolution methods of computer tomography, vestibulogical and audiological diag-nostics using objective methods (ABR, AOE) allowed to perform accurate diagnosis of themiddle and inner ear diseases. New techniques of transplantation and ossicles prosthe-sis, drainage ventilation, digital hearing aids, cochlear, bone and brainstem anchoredimplants enable improvement of hearing organ's function.
