Tympanometry

Tympanometry assesses middle ear function by measuring tympanic membrane compliance in response to air pressure changes. It detects effusion, ossicular stiffness, or perforation, providing essential information about middle ear pathology.

Acoustic Reflex Testing

Acoustic Reflex Testing evaluates stapedius muscle contraction in response to loud sounds. It provides information about the integrity of the auditory nerve, brainstem pathways, and efferent reflex arcs, making it a valuable tool for differentiating cochlear from retrocochlear involvement.

Eustachian Tube Function Testing

Eustachian Tube Function Testing applies controlled pressure changes to assess the ability of the Eustachian tube to equalize middle ear pressure. Dysfunction may contribute to otitis media, barotrauma, or chronic discomfort, and this test helps identify problems with pressure regulation.
