Impedance Audiometry at Unicare Speech & Hearing Clinic
🎧 What is Impedance Audiometry?
Impedance audiometry, also known as immittance testing, is a vital diagnostic tool that evaluates the function of the middle ear system. It helps audiologists detect problems such as fluid in the middle ear, eardrum stiffness, ossicular chain abnormalities, and even retrocochlear pathologies.
At Unicare Speech & Hearing Clinic, Vikaspuri, West Delhi, we provide comprehensive impedance audiometry services using advanced equipment to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.

-
Findings: Identifies middle ear fluid, eustachian tube dysfunction, perforations, or ossicular chain issues.
-
SEO Keywords: tympanometry test, middle ear function test, eardrum mobility assessment.
✅ Acoustic Reflex Testing
-
Purpose: Evaluates the reflexive contraction of middle ear muscles in response to loud sounds.
-
Findings: Helps detect retrocochlear lesions, auditory nerve disorders, and brainstem pathway integrity.
