Precise Evaluation of Middle Ear Function and Health.

Impedance Audiometry is a diagnostic test that evaluates middle ear function and detects issues like fluid buildup, eardrum mobility, or ossicle problems. It provides critical insights into hearing health by measuring ear pressure and reflexes. This test is essential for identifying conditions such as ear infections, eustachian tube dysfunction, or conductive hearing loss, enabling accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

The Most Frequently Asked Questions
About Impedance Audiometry

Impedance audiometry measures the middle ear's ability to transmit sound by assessing eardrum movement and middle ear pressure.

It is used to diagnose middle ear problems such as fluid buildup, infections, or eustachian tube dysfunction.

A probe is placed in the ear, and sound is played to measure the movement of the eardrum.

No, the test is non-invasive and generally painless, though some individuals may feel slight pressure in the ear.

The test typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes per ear.
