Tympanometers

What is a Typanometer?

The general classification of a tympanometer is an instrument that measures the pathology of the middle ear, including the eardrum. It is often referred to as a middle ear analyser, impedance, or admittance meter, as the so-called tympanometry measurement is only one part of the entire middle ear assessment.

There are variations of the classification of a tympanometer; such as a screening or diagnostic device. Further tests can include measurement of the interaural muscles (acoustic reflex, decay, and latency tests) as well as eustachian tube tests. To understand which tests your tympanometer can perform, please check the specification in the user manual.
