Magnification of the above photograph. A meatoplasty has been performed to enlarge the external auditory canal and allow easy access to the mastoid bowl for inspection and cleaning. The reconstructed eardrum is seen anteriorly. There is a thin layer of brown cerumen in the anterior portion of the mastoid bowl. The fundus of the bowl is usually visualized by pulling on the pinna postero-superiorly and angling the line of vision or microscope in that direction.
