Can Tympanometry Detect Inner Ear Issue?

2025-01-29 08:05:03
Hi, I have been experiencing ear pain and a buzzing sound in my left ear. I consulted a doctor who checked my ear with an otoscope, and they mentioned that the ear looks normal. However, I'm still concerned about the possibility of an underlying issue. I would like to know if tympanometry can help detect an inner ear infection or any other issues that might not be visible through an otoscope. Could this test provide additional insights into what might be causing these symptoms? Or if the otoscope shows a normal ear then tympanometry will show normal? Note :Already done PTA Looking forward to expert advice. Thank you!

yes you can go for Tympanometry, it can rule out if  there is fluid in the middle ear, which can be a cause for buzzing sounds in ear.
