Overview
Other Diagnostic Studies
- Tympanometry - an examination used to test the condition of the middle ear[1] and mobility of the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and the conduction bones by creating variations of air pressure in the ear canal.
- Audiometry - audiogram standard in examination of patients presenting with otalgia. An audiogram can identify even minor hearing loss that the patient may not have even noticed
- Dental radiography - to identify the dental causes of referred otalgia.
- Panorex imagery - useful in diagnosing Temporomandibular joint dysfunction, odontogenic pathology, and styloid abnormalities.
- PET scanning - fused with CT or MRI, it adds tremendously detailed information about the location of head and neck neoplasms and abscesses.
