Impedance Audiometry

What is Impedance Audiometry?

Impedance audiometry, also known as tympanometry, measures the mobility of the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and the conduction bones in the middle ear. By introducing sound and air pressure into the ear canal, the test records how well sound is transmitted through the ear and how the middle ear reacts to different pressure changes. This information is essential in diagnosing conditions such as fluid in the middle ear, eustachian tube dysfunction, tympanic membrane perforations, and ossicular chain disruptions.

The Impedance Audiometry Process

During the test, a small probe is gently inserted into the ear canal, which emits a tone and changes the air pressure. The test typically takes only a few minutes and is comfortable for the patient. Our audiologists will then analyze the results to determine the status of the middle ear and recommend further action if necessary. Whether it’s detecting early signs of infection, evaluating the effectiveness of ear surgeries, or identifying the causes of hearing loss, impedance audiometry plays a vital role in our diagnostic process.
