Tympanometry and impedance audiometry are diagnostic tests used to evaluate middle ear function, eardrum mobility, and pressure changes inside the ear. These tests help diagnose infections, fluid accumulation, eardrum problems, and Eustachian tube dysfunction. They are commonly used in both children and adults.
Overview
A small probe is placed in the ear canal to measure how the eardrum responds to pressure changes and sound signals. The tests help detect: Middle ear fluid Ear infections Eardrum perforation Eustachian tube blockage Ossicular chain problems The procedure is quick, painless, and useful for monitoring middle ear disorders.
