Advancing Middle Ear Assessment: What Otolaryngologists Need to Know About Wideband Tympanometry
Please note: exam questions are subject to change.
1. In which of the following clinical scenarios does wideband tympanometry (WBT) offer a significant benefit compared to traditional 226 Hz tympanometry?
|
||
2. A wideband tympanogram at ambient pressure (WBA0) reveals a relatively flat absorbance across a broad range of frequencies with generally overall lower absorbance levels. This pattern is most suggestive of what?
|
||
3. When implementing wideband tympanometry (WBT) in an ENT practice, it is best utilized as what?
|
||
4. Wideband tympanometry (WBT) has shown particular value in:
|
||
5. Analysis of wideband tympanometry (WBT) data often involves comparing absorbance at ambient pressure (WBA0) with absorbance at tympanometric peak pressure (WBATPP). An improvement in the WBA pattern at WBATPP compared to WBA0 suggests that the abnormality observed at ambient pressure might be primarily due to what?
