Tympanometry Tests

At Emirates Hospitals Group, Tympanometry tests are vital components of our advanced ENT diagnostics in Dubai. Tympanometry is a specialized procedure conducted by our skilled audiologists to assess middle ear function and diagnose conditions affecting hearing and balance. This test measures the mobility of the eardrum and middle ear pressure, helping identify issues such as fluid accumulation, eustachian tube dysfunction, or otitis media. It is recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms like ear pain, hearing loss, or dizziness, as well as those requiring assessment for middle ear conditions. Our advanced facilities ensure precise results and tailored treatment plans, ensuring optimal ear health for every patient.
