Brief Summary:
This study will examine the improvement in middle ear optical coherence tomography imaging from the topical application of glycerol to the tympanic membrane in normal, opaque and post-operative ears
Detailed Description:
This study will explore whether the utility of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in otology patients can be enhanced through the application of topical glycerol as an optical clearing agent in patients with normal, opaque and post operative tympanic membranes. In each group of subjects, a comparison will be made between OCT images obtained before and after the topical application of glycerol to the tympanic membrane and following washout with saline. Images will also be assessed for their diagnostic utility as determined by the visibility of key structures and the change in middle ear mobility caused by glycerol absorption in the tympanic membrane.
