The Tympanometry test involves putting a soft tip into the ear. The experience is a slight change in pressure in the ears. Tympanometry measures the ear canal volume, pressure and degree of movement of the eardrum. The results are interpreted as part of a battery of tests to assess the health of the ear drum and middle ear and can be used to monitor glue ear, grommets or perforations, for example.

Tympanometry testing is also included within our adult hearing tests and children’s hearing assessments
