Pathway content

Section 3: Other ear tests

Available lessons can be opened now. Planned lessons remain visible so the structure of the pathway is clear.

3.1

Tympanometry

Read tympanograms and relate pressure, compliance and ear canal volume to clinical findings.

Planned
3.2

Acoustic reflexes

Understand ipsilateral and contralateral reflex patterns and what they add to the test battery.

Planned
3.3

Speech testing

Use speech testing to connect pure-tone findings with everyday listening and patient-centred outcomes.

Planned
3.4

Bringing the test battery together

Combine audiometry, tympanometry, reflexes, symptoms and history into a structured clinical summary.
