Overview
Other diagnostic tests include tympanometry, audiometry, and upper aerodigestive tract endoscopy.
Other Diagnostic Studies
- Tympanometry - an examination used to test the condition of the middle ear[1] and mobility of the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and the conduction bones by creating variations of air pressure in the ear canal.
- Audiometry - audiogram standard in examination of patients presenting with otalgia. An audiogram can identify even minor hearing loss that the patient may not have even noticed.
- Vestibulocochlear testing
- Nasal endoscopy
- Upper aerodigestive tract endoscopy, laryngoscopy
