Static Acoustic Compliance
(Static Immittance) Normal Ranges (a kid can buy a piece of candy for a quarter and a whole SAC for a dollar and 5.) (Some adults have up to 30 partners in the SAC and sluts have 170 in their life) |
Child=.25-1.05 mL
Adult= .30-1.70 mL |
|
Static Acoustic Compliance
(Static Immittance) Abnormal Results Indicate (Tom Cruise-stiff/ Andre the Giant-flaccid) |
Low=Stiffness of TM/ossicular chain
High=Overly flaccid TM/Interruption of ossicular chain |
|
Ear Canal Volume Normal Ranges
69 |
Infant=.3-.9 mL
Child=.4-1.0 mL Adult=.6-1.5 mL |
|
Ear Canal Volume Abnormal Results Indicate
|
High=TM Perforation or PE tube
|
|
Middle Ear Pressure (Peak Pressure) Normal Ranges
checking account balance |
-150 to +100 daPa
|
|
Middle Ear Pressure (Peak Pressure) Abnormal Results Indicate
Otis refers hot pockets to his congress of friends |
Low=Congestion, otitis media w/air pockets
Referral needed |
|
Gradient
(Tympanometric Width) Normal Ranges 80*2=? children are more wiggly |
Child=80-159 daPa
Adult=51-114 daPa |
|
Abnormal Gradient (TM Width) Results Indicate
|
High=Middle ear fluid; High width means a low curve, ie little movement of the TM.
|
|
A Tympanogram-Shape,
Characteristics Indications |
looks like an A; Peaks at 0 daPa Normal
|
|
AD Tympanogram, Shape,
Characteristics Indications |
super high A (off the chart); Unusually high peak-high compliance; Ossicular dislocation/monomeric TM
|
|
AS Tympanogram, Shape,
Characteristics Indications Type As are shallow because they are fixated on size 0, |
low and shallow looking A shape; Reduced peak-low compliance; Ossicular fixation/tympanosclerosis
|
|
B Tympanogram, Shape,
Characteristics Indications |
Flat, no peak; No movement usually a sign of ME fluid;
High Volume=TM perf or PE tube Low Volume=Faulty probe placement |
|
C Tympanogram, Shape,
Characteristics Indications (Peer pressure is negative. C grades bring ET and Otitis Media.) |
Negative pressure-Peak is -150 to -200
Eustachian tube dysfunction Developing or resolving Otitis Media |
|
Acoustic Reflex Threshold Interpretation
Outcome: Present at Normal Sensation Level |
Measurement:
About 85 dB SL Indications: Normal Hearing |
|
Acoustic Reflex Threshold Interpretation
Outcome: Absent Lots of absences result in moderate to severe punishment of your senses or aliens conducting probes. |
Measurement:
No Response at 115 dB HL Indications: Hearing Loss -Conductive (probe ear) -Moderate to Severe SNHL |
|
Acoustic Reflex Threshold Interpretation
Outcome:Present at Low Sensation Level Low, less, lesion |
Measurement:
Less than 60 dB SL Hearing Loss Indications: -Mild to Moderate SNHL -Cochlear site of lesion |
|
Acoustic Reflex Threshold Interpretation
Outcome:Present at High Sensation Level (Elevated) Conduct Retro dance with 100 students at High school at 8 |
Measurement: Greater than 100 dB SL
Indications: Hearing Loss -Conductive (stimulus ear) -Normal hearing (opposite ear) --Retrocochlear lesion/VIIIth nerve damage |
