Abstract
A within-subject comparison between an American Electromedics 85R screening tympanometer and a Grason-Stadler 1723 clinical otoadmittance meter indicated equivalent results for middle-ear pressure. Tympanometer admittance readings needed to be rescaled to concur with the oto-admittance meter. Screening by acoustic reflex response using the single-intensity stimulus of the tympanometer was problematic and gave many misleading results.Keywords
