Impedance Audiometry

Impedance Audiometry is a specialized hearing test that evaluates the condition of the middle ear and the mobility of the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and ossicles. This test helps diagnose issues such as middle ear infections, fluid in the ear, eustachian tube dysfunction, and other middle ear problems that may cause hearing loss.

At SMART Hearing & Child Development Center (SHCDC), located in Madinaguda, we provide expert Impedance Audiometry testing to diagnose and manage hearing disorders in children and adults. Our clinic offers a comprehensive approach to hearing healthcare with a focus on advanced diagnostic tools and patient-centric care.

What is Impedance Audiometry?

Impedance Audiometry is also known as Tympanometry or Middle Ear Testing. It measures the resistance or ease with which sound passes through the middle ear. The test is crucial for detecting middle ear problems that may not be identified by pure tone audiometry alone. This test helps to:
- Diagnose ear infections and fluid buildup in the ear
- Assess eardrum perforation
- Evaluate the function of the eustachian tube
- Detect ossicular chain discontinuity or stiffness in the middle ear bones
- Aid in the diagnosis of conductive hearing loss

How Does Impedance Audiometry Work?

The test involves inserting a small probe into the ear canal to change the air pressure. Sound waves are sent into the ear, and the movement of the eardrum is measured. A graph called a tympanogram is created, which helps the audiologist assess the condition of the middle ear. Impedance Audiometry is quick, non-invasive, and suitable for both children and adults.s

Who Should Undergo Impedance Audiometry?

This test is recommended for:
- Children who frequently suffer from ear infections
- Individuals experiencing hearing loss accompanied by ear pain or pressure
- Anyone with eustachian tube dysfunction
- Patients with a perforated eardrum or fluid in the middle ear
- Those with tinnitus or a sensation of fullness in the ear
