Tympanometric results from neonates and infants under four months

S. Varbanova

Abstract

Advantages of objective studying the middle ear of infants and neonates are presented. High frequency timpanometry is proposed and used because of anatomical differences between children and adults. This method is used widely in diagnosing, because he is noninvasive, quick and easy to perform.
