Tympanometry is one of the various tools that can be utilised by trained professionals, to provide a full picture of your hearing health.
Tympanometry
Tympanometry tests provide an accurate assessment of how well the middle ear is working. It helps to identify issues such as fluid buildup, pressure changes, or stiffness. It forms a vital part of comprehensive hearing tests and assessments.
The eardrum is known as the tympanic membrane. Tympanometry can be carried out to investigate hearing changes, feelings of pressure, or a sense of fullness in the ear. It may be recommended after recurrent ear infections, glue ear, to monitor the ear after ear surgery, or ear fullness after flying or colds.
A tympanometry test is completely safe and takes only minutes. A rubber probe is placed gently inside the ear canal, with controlled ear pressure changes. The device records how well the ear drum moves in response to these changes, and records the results.
