Procedure:

  1. Explain and demonstrate procedure
    • I will insert a probe into the opening of your ear canal. The probe has a soft tip to seal the ear. You will feel some pressure in your ear for a few seconds while I measure the function of your middle ear. This test is automatic and I do not require you to do anything, but please avoid any unnecessary movement and avoid speaking or swallowing after the probe has been inserted. Should you find the procedure painful and want me to stop, please indicate this by either saying "stop" or by raising your hand
  2. Perform procedure
    • Turn on tympanometer
    • Check that it is set to 226Hz
    • Check that the correct ear is selected
    • Choose appropriate tip for probe
    • Insert probe, bracing with inserting hand and twisting towards face for tight seal
    • Press start to take measurement
    • Change ear setting and repeat
    • Press "Page" then "Print" to print results
