Abstract

Tympanometry has become an indispensable component in the evaluation of middle ear function. As an objective, non-invasive, and rapid diagnostic tool, it complements clinical otoscopy and audiometric findings, providing valuable information about middle ear compliance, pressure, and Eustachian tube function. In contemporary otological practice, tympanometry not only enhances diagnostic accuracy but also aids in treatment planning and outcome assessment, particularly in disorders involving the tympanic membrane and middle ear cleft. However, there has been incidences where the clinical picture and tympanometery does not match with each other. For example a patient coming with simple blockage with grade II retraction of tympanic membrane might have Type A impedance graph or patient with no complaint might have a Type C or Type C1 (pressure -100 to -199).
