Tympanometry is the procedure used to evaluate the condition of the middle ear and the mobility of the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and the conduction bones by creating variations of air pressure in the ear canal. It is particularly useful for detecting fluid in the middle ear, which is common in children with middle ear infections (otitis media).
