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
