Tympanometry: Why It Should Be Used by the Hearing Instrument Dispenser Slides

Pdf Summary

This document is a presentation on tympanometry given by Ted Venema. The presenter introduces the concept of the middle ear and its function in increasing sound pressure. Tympanometry is a test that measures middle ear efficiency and involves impedance. The presentation explains the terms and measurements used in tympanometry, such as compliance and impedance. The presentation also discusses tympanogram types and their significance for diagnosing otitis media and other pathologies. Lastly, the presentation briefly mentions acoustic reflexes and their role in tympanometry.
