  • Title: Tympanometry-detection of middle ear pathologies.
    Author: Van Camp KJ, Creten WL, Vanpeperstraete PM, Van de Heyning PH.
    Journal: Acta Otorhinolaryngol Belg; 1980; 34(5):574-83. PubMed ID: 7468205.
    Abstract:
    Two component susceptance-conductance tympanometry at a probe tone frequency of 660 Hz is superior to admittance tympanometry at 220 Hz for the detection of an ossicular discontinuity, a luxation or a necrosis. It is, however, essential to understand well the difference between non-pathological W-patterns and pathological broad multi-extrema tympanograms. The systematics of normal W-patterns is reviewed and the influence of the sign and magnitude of the pumpspeed on the shape of both types of tympanograms is discussed.
