Overview

Other diagnostic tests include tympanometry, audiometry, Upper aerodigestive tract endoscopy etc.

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
  • Vestibulocochlear testing
  • Nasal endoscopy
  • Upper aerodigestive tract endoscopy, laryngoscopy
