Dear colleagues and friends,

We are pleased to announce the final program of the 4th Symposium on Middle Ear Mechanics in Research and Otology, MEMRO 2006. We cordially invite you to the University of Zurich for a meeting with a highly attractive program for both the clinical and basic science aspects of modern otology.

The congress combines a great variety of keynote lectures, invited papers, free papers and round table discussions by internationally renowned speakers and moderators.

An essential highlight is the extensive poster session with two awards awaiting their laureates.

The topics of the symposium focus on clinical and mechanical aspects of the normal, diseased and reconstructed middle ear, evaluation and diagnosis of middle ear function, middle ear surgery and implantable hearing devices.

To facilitate and stimulate an intensive dialogue between all the participants, all contributions will be presented without parallel sessions.

Besides the scientific program we are delighted to invite you to you to join us for a unique social program including a welcome reception, a congress dinner and an excursion to central Switzerland.

We are looking forward to welcome you in Zurich
