What is a Tympanometry test?

This is a very brief test which involves putting a rubber tip in the ear canal opening and taking a measurement of the air pressure required for the child's eardrum to move.

Tympanograms help to determine whether your child might have any middle ear problems which need medical attention.

When is this test performed?

A tympanogram is usually performed during your child's visit for an ABR test or a Behavioral Audiological Evaluation.
