AB  - •  Tympanometry  directly  measures  the  compliance  of  the  tympanic  membrane  and  ossicular  chain,  estimating  middle  ear  pressure.•  Tympanometry  is  primarily  used  to  detect  the  presence  of  middle  ear  fluid,  enhancing  the  diagnosis  of  acute  otitis  media  and  otitis  media  with  effusion.•  The  procedure  is  also  useful  for  detecting  tympanic  membrane  perforation,  ossicular  chain  disruption,  and  the  patency  of  eustachian  tubes.•  Tympanometry  is  commonly  performed  as  part  of  the  early  evaluation  of  hearing  loss.
