Keypoints • Myringotomy and grommet insertion is the most common operative procedure in otological practice. • We describe a simple, cheap and effective model for the junior trainee to develop the skills required for myringotomy and grommet insertion without compromising patient safety. • As the materials required for our model are more readily available, it is more likely to gain widespread acceptance in ENT training.
