Welch Allyn MicroTymp - Interpreting Tympanometry Results; Normal Tympanogram; Low Static Admittance; Gradient Too Wide

Interpretation of Results
PR
Normal Tympanogram
Indicates normally functioning
middle ear system
Low Static Admittance
Low Static Admittance (low peak
height) indicates possibility of:
l Otitis media with effusion
l Cholesteotoma/other middle
ear tumor
l Tympanosclerosis
l Otosclerosis
NOTE: When peak admittance
is below the box, no gradient
value will be printed.
Gradient Too Wide
Gradient Too Wide (GR > 151
daPa in children or >114
daPa in adults) indicates
possibility of:
l Otitis media with effusion
