Procedure
1. Select the
Tympanometry
test screen.
2. Record a tympanogram.
3. Instruct the patient to perform either Valsalva’s or Toynbee’s man-
euver.
4. Advance to the next curve number.
5. Record a second tympanogram.
6. Compare the tympanograms from step 1 and 3 in the multilayered
tympanogram.
7. It may be useful to repeat the procedure using different techniques
and maneuvers in a sequence of testing to fully evaluate the func-
tioning of the Eustachian tube.

The tympanometry graph shows a maximum of 3 curves per ear per patient.
Default:

:
The curve number is advanced automatically before the tympanogram is recorded (except if the
current curve memory is empty). If you continue measuring, the curve number is cyclically
increased and older tympanograms are overwritten.
Off

You must manually toggle the
Curve selector
to the next curve number to preserve a previously
recorded tympanogram.

Acoustic reflex testing
Note
•
It is recommended that you perform a tympanometric test before making any acoustic reflex meas-
urement, and determine the acoustic reflex threshold before making a reflex decay measurement.
Automatic and semi-automatic testing
The easiest way to measure acoustic reflexes is by using the automatic or semi-automatic test features. Manual testing and
editing is also possible for specific stimulus intensities.
