AVALIAÇÃO AUDIOLÓGICA (IMITANCIOMETRIA TIMPANOMETRIA E REFLEXO ACÚSTICOS ESTAPÉDICO)

In this class, you will learn the fundamentals of immittance audiometry, an essential test used to evaluate middle ear function through tympanometry and acoustic reflex assessment. The video lesson explains: 🔹 What immittance audiometry is — an objective, quick, and painless test that analyzes middle ear mechanics. 🔹 Tympanometry — how the mobility of the tympanic membrane and middle ear structures is evaluated by varying air pressure in the ear canal, generating a tympanogram. 🔹 Acoustic stapedius reflex — how the involuntary contraction of the stapedius muscle is measured in response to sound, allowing assessment of the integrity of the auditory reflex arc. You will also understand the clinical importance of these tests in differentiating types of hearing loss and investigating possible alterations in sound conduction and central auditory pathways. Ideal for students and professionals seeking to deepen their knowledge in audiological assessment.
