Unlike a hearing test, which checks a patient’s hearing sensitivity across a range of frequencies, tympanometry provides an object measurement of the amount of energy transmitted through the middle ear. Tympanometry involves inserting a specialized probe, called a tympanometer, into the ear canal and creating a tight seal. The probe includes a speaker that generates a low-frequency tone, a microphone to record the sound bouncing off the tympanic membrane, and an air pressure regulator that can vary the amount of air pressure in the ear canal. == Additional Information == * Wikipedia article: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tympanometry|Tympanometry] * [https://www.aafp.org/afp/2004/1101/p1713.html|Tympanometry] (American Family Physician) * [https://ihsinfo.org/IhsV2/CEUs/pdf/jun2012/CE%20Article_Tympanometry.pdf|Continuing Education: Tympanometry] (International Hearing Society PDF) * [https://www.asha.org/policy/RP1988-00027/|Tympanometry] (Paper authored by the ASHA Working Group on Aural Acoustic-Immittance Measurements, Committee on Audiologic Evaluation)
