Tympanogram: • A plot of middle ear admittance as a function of __________________ • Pressure is swept from +200 to -200 or -400 dPa • Should see peak at point where pressures are ______________
Tympanogram types: • A: peak between +100 and -200 dPa: normal • C: peak beyond -200 dPa: neg pressure • B: no peak flat tymp: ____________ • As: peak but shallow: stiff: _____________ • Ad: peak off scale: floppy: _____________
Static Admittance • A measure of the height of tympanogram peak Adults 3-10 yrs A 0.30 to 1.70 0.25 to 1.05 As < 0.30 < 0.2 Ad >1.70 > 1.05 (All values are in ml of equivalent volume)
