Otic is an adjective that means related to the ear.
The Greek word for ear is aufti (off TEE) which gave birth to our word of the day.
Once again, otic is spelled O-T-I-C. It’s usually used in a medical context as opposed to a word like aural that may refer to hearing. The doctor was initially reluctant to perform surgery on my ear. He was afraid that all that otic fluid would be a problem.
