Remembering how to treat and prevent otitis in a complete manner can be difficult in a busy general practice. There are different acronyms to help, but everybody remembers things a bit differently.

This week's podcast goes over a new acronym to make acute and chronic otitis management a bit easier.

E: etiology (what infection is present)
A: appearance (what does the debris look like and where is it)
R: Reason (what is the primary cause)
S: Support (how do we manage this long-term)

EARS to help ears. Let me know your thoughts on this week's episode!
