Impedance Audiometry
Impedance Audiometry, also known as tympanometry, is a test used to evaluate the function of the middle ear. It helps diagnose issues like fluid in the middle ear, eustachian tube dysfunction, and perforated eardrum. By measuring the mobility of the eardrum and the conduction bones by creating variations of air pressure in the ear canal, impedance audiometry provides crucial insights into ear health.

FAQ
Impedance Audiometry is a test that evaluates the function of the middle ear by measuring eardrum mobility and middle ear pressure.
During the test, a probe is placed in the ear canal, and variations in air pressure are used to measure the movement of the eardrum.
Anyone experiencing symptoms of middle ear problems, such as ear pain, fluid discharge, or hearing loss, should consider getting an Impedance Audiometry test.
