This is a quick, yet informative test, using air pressure to assess the health of the middle part of the year. It assesses how the tympanic membrane moves, and also helps us understand how the ossicular chain is working behind the tympanic membrane. The next step is a visit to our sound booth, where we will perform air and bone conduction thresholds, speech reception thresholds, and speech understanding testing at a minimum. Depending on those results, we may do a few other tests to be able to make the best recommendations for you.
