The Tymp test screen
The
Tymp
test screen provides the tympanometric curves,
norm area, the resulting Type, TPP, and ECV/EBV for the curve
shown.
Note
•
The probe tone shown in the test screen applies
to the currently selected measurement setting, and
may not reflect the probe tone setting that was used
for the curve shown.
The actual probe tone applying to the curve shown can be
