Định Nghĩa và Ý Nghĩa của "tympanometry"

What is "tympanometry"?

Tympanometry is a test used to evaluate the condition of the middle ear and how well it functions. During the test, a small device is placed in the ear canal, which changes air pressure and sends sound waves into the ear. This helps measure how the eardrum and middle ear respond to changes in pressure. Tympanometry is useful for finding problems such as fluid in the middle ear, holes in the eardrum, and issues with the middle ear bones. It provides information about the health of the ear and helps choose the appropriate treatment for hearing problems.
