Tympanometry

Tympanometry is a diagnostic test that evaluates the health of your middle ear and how well it conducts sound. During the test, a soft device is placed in the ear canal to change air pressure and measure how the eardrum responds to these changes. The results show how well the eardrum moves and if there are issues like fluid behind the eardrum, infections, or a perforation. It’s a quick, painless way for healthcare providers to assess ear function and diagnose potential problems affecting hearing or balance.
