Abstract

An outer ear bone anchor to be stabilized within a person's external auditory canal includes: a body; and a plurality of anchor pins, each of the anchor pins including a first end and a second end such that, when the first end of each of the anchor pins is secured to the external auditory canal, the second end of each of the plurality of anchor pins stabilize the body within the external auditory canal. A method of delivering medication to a person's middle ear or inner ear, the method comprising the steps of: securing an outer ear bone anchor in the person's external auditory canal; securing an inner catheter to the outer ear bone anchor, the inner catheter extending to the person's middle ear or inner ear; and passing medication through inner catheter to the person's middle ear or inner ear.
