ENT, audiology centers, pediatrics, health screening and school health services

Core Function Highlights
  • Assess middle-ear statusUses tympanometry to assess membrane mobility, middle-ear pressure and possible effusion.
  • Assess Eustachian-tube function and membrane integrityUses pressure curves and ear-canal volume to support assessment of tube function and membrane status.
  • Support hearing-loss differentiationComplements other hearing tests to help distinguish conductive from sensorineural hearing problems.
