In the course of tympanometry, a sound of a certain frequency reflected from the eardrum is analyzed, which is recorded by a microphone and a tympanogram is compiled based on this data. The procedure is safe and can be performed even on newborn babies without fear of any complications.

Tympanometry at the Amel Clinic is carried out using advanced equipment and is fully computerized, which allows you to check both the middle ear and the eardrum of the patient. After that, the device is turned on, a sound of a certain frequency is generated and the sensors located on the probe collect the data. The doctor inserts a special probe into the ear canal, the passage itself closes so as not to miss sounds. The procedure is carried out within 5-10 minutes and is painless and absolutely safe. These actions can lead to data corruption, in such cases, the interpretation of tympanometry will show an incorrect result. Then the doctor tells the patient about the rules that must be followed during the procedure: Foreign objects and deposits reflect sound waves and distort data. This is necessary for the correct receipt of those indications that tympanometry shows and their correct interpretation. General screening for hearing impairmentīefore checking the integrity of the tympanic membrane, the ENT at the Amel Clinic conducts a visual examination and, if necessary, cleans the ear canal of sulfur deposits or foreign objects.Checking the tympanic membrane for damage and compliance.Testing the functionality of the auditory tube.The tympanometry procedure itself can be prescribed in such cases: In the clinic Amel Dental Clinic, located in Dnipro, according to the appointment of an otorhinolaryngologist, a tympanogram can be built based on the data obtained during tympanometry and its interpretation. The procedure can be prescribed for both adult patients and children. In the study, the reflection of sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane is analyzed and a diagnosis is made based on this data.
