Tympanometry is a type of hearing test that measures the movement of the eardrum in response to changes in air pressure. There are several different types of tympanometry tests that can be performed depending on the specific needs of the individual being tested.
The specific type of tympanometry test that is performed will depend on the individual’s symptoms, medical history, and the suspected cause of their hearing problems. Your audiologist or hearing healthcare professional can help determine which type of tympanometry test is right for you.
