Tympanometry and Acoustic Reflex testing are specialized audiology procedures used to evaluate the function of the middle ear. While tympanometry measures how well the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and middle ear system move in response to sound and air pressure changes, the acoustic reflex test checks the involuntary muscle contraction in the middle ear when exposed to loud sounds. Together, these tests help audiologists understand ear health, detect blockages, and diagnose possible hearing disorders.
These tests are recommended when patients experience:
Frequent ear infections or fluid in the ear
Suspected damage to the eardrum or middle ear bones
Unexplained hearing loss
Suspected issues with the auditory nerve or brainstem pathways
Concerns about abnormal sound sensitivity
Both tests are safe, painless, and take only a few minutes.
The results of tympanometry and acoustic reflex testing guide further treatment. Based on the findings, audiologists may recommend:
