Assessing the Health of Your Middle Ear

Impedance Audiometry is a specialized diagnostic test that evaluates the function of the middle ear and eardrum. It helps detect conditions such as fluid in the ear, ear infections, eardrum perforations, Eustachian tube dysfunction, and other middle ear disorders. At Geetha Hearing and Speech Clinic, we perform this quick and painless test using advanced equipment to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.

Who Should Undergo Impedance Audiometry?

This test is recommended for both children and adults experiencing symptoms related to middle ear problems or hearing difficulties. It provides valuable information that cannot be obtained through routine hearing tests alone.

You may need this test if you:

  • Experience frequent ear infections
  • Have ear pain or a feeling of fullness
  • Notice sudden or fluctuating hearing loss
  • Have persistent ear discharge
  • Need a detailed hearing evaluation
  • Are being assessed before hearing aid fitting or medical treatment

How is the Test Performed?

Impedance Audiometry is a safe, non-invasive, and painless procedure that takes only a few minutes. A small probe is gently placed in the ear canal to measure how the eardrum responds to changes in air pressure and sound. The test also evaluates the acoustic reflexes of the middle ear muscles.

Benefits of Impedance Audiometry include:

  • Detects middle ear disorders accurately
  • Identifies fluid behind the eardrum
  • Evaluates Eustachian tube function
  • Supports diagnosis of hearing loss
  • Assists in planning the right treatment
