The Middle-Ear Mechanics in Research and Otology (MEMRO) meetings are targeted to basic scientists, otolaryngologists, engineers, as well as residents and students. Collaborations between these different groups of researchers and practitioners, as has been shown to be the case in the past, can lead to a greater understanding of how to improve the diagnosis and treatment of middle-ear diseases. Even within the narrow confines of basic research, there has tended to be a separation between those investigating the biology of middle-ear disease and those attempting to understand the underlying biophysics and acousto-mechanical transformations of middle-ear structures. Basic scientists are not generally familiar with the pathogenesis and hearing outcome of middle-ear diseases, while clinicians often do not understand the mechanical and acoustical constraints on the ear that result from middle-ear disease and its treatment.Recognizing the need for collaboration between surgeons and scientist-engineers working on middle-ear mechanics, Dr. Karl-Bernd Hüttenbrink, an otologist, initiated the first MEMRO symposium in Dresden, Germany in 1996. After the success of this first meeting, subsequent meetings were held in Boston in 1999, Matsuyama, Japan in 2003, and Zurich, Switzerland in 2006. The 2009 MEMRO symposium at Stanford University was the fifth meeting, with about 165 registered attendees.
