Measurement of the change of middle ear compliance as air pressure is altered in the ear canal.
A test in which sound and air pressure are used to check for fluid in the middle ear.
A test of how well the middle ear system is functioning and how well the eardrum can move. A small rubber tip is placed in the ear and a little air is pumped into the outer ear canal. If there is a problem in the middle ear, it may show up on this test. The results of tympanometry can indicate the location of the blockage that is causing the hearing loss and whether medical treatment may help. UVW
method of determining middle function and detecting middle-ear effusion (fluid). Measures sound returned from the tympanic membrane under pressure to determine if a middle ear effusion is present.
The measurement of the outer and middle ear's ability to accept and conduct sound.
Measurement of the movement of the tympanic membrane. Can indicate the presence of pressure in the middle ear.
a test that measures pressure in the middle ear and how the eardrum reacts to pressure changes. It can also find holes in the eardrum and show if PE tubes are working properly.
a test using air and sound directed at the middle ear drum to test for movement of the drum.
A non-invasive test utilizing air pressure to measure the movement of the eardrum. This test is not a hearing test, but can determine if there is a hole in the eardrum or fluid behind the eardrum. This test can also be utilized to assess the ossicles (bones) of the middle ear to make sure they are working properly.
Formerly known as immittance testing; An objective method of testing the integrity and function of the middle ear system.
A test in which sound and air pressure are used to check for disorders of the middle ear.
A test, also referred to as immittance testing, done during an audiological evaluation that helps to assess the integrity of the tympanic membrane (eardrum) and the middle ear cavity. During tympanometry testing, a probe is inserted into and sealed in the ear canal and then a reflected tone is measured as the pressure in the ear canal is changed. The results are often graphed onto a tympanogram, showing the compliance at various positive and negative pressure levels.
a test that allows for air and sound to be directed into the middle ear.
The study of the ear drum.
Testing of the middle ear with equipment that bounces sound off the tympanic membrane under different pressure conditions.
Tympanometry is an examination used to test the condition of the middle ear and mobility of the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and the conduction bones, by creating variations of air pressure in the ear canal.
