Measurement detailsMeasurement details: Measurements of the tympanogram to infer middle ear function.
Static compliance has been represented in the archetype twice, each with different units. Static compliance will only be recorded in data using the unit that is captured by the tympanometer in use - either volume units OR conductance units, but not both.
Pressure vs compliance measurementPressure vs compliance measurement: The Pressure/Compliance measurement pair, captured from a tympanometer and used to define a continuous tympanogram curve.
Each measurement pair will comprise one pressure measurment with one corresponding compliance measurement. Compliance has been represented in the archetype twice, each with different units. Compliance will only be recorded in data using the unit that is captured by the tympanometer in use - either volume units OR conductance units, but not both. Multiple instances of this measurement pair will form the basis for the graphical display of the tympanogram.

Measurement detailsMeasurement details: Measurements of the tympanogram to infer middle ear function.
Static compliance has been represented in the archetype twice, each with different units. Static compliance will only be recorded in data using the unit that is captured by the tympanometer in use - either volume units OR conductance units, but not both.
Pressure vs compliance measurementPressure vs compliance measurement: The Pressure/Compliance measurement pair, captured from a tympanometer and used to define a continuous tympanogram curve.
Each measurement pair will comprise one pressure measurment with one corresponding compliance measurement. Compliance has been represented in the archetype twice, each with different units. Compliance will only be recorded in data using the unit that is captured by the tympanometer in use - either volume units OR conductance units, but not both. Multiple instances of this measurement pair will form the basis for the graphical display of the tympanogram.
PressurePressure: The pressure measured in the ear canal.
-600..200
Units:
  • daPa
  • mm[H20]
Compliance (volume)Compliance (volume): The amount of acoustic energy absorbed by the middle ear system at a specified pressure, measured in cc or ml.
If the tympanometer records compliance in cc or ml, use this data element. If the tympanometer records compliance in mmho, use the 'Compliance (Conductance) data element.
0..5; 0..5
Units:
  • ml
  • cc
Compliance (conductance)Compliance (conductance): The amount of acoustic energy absorbed by the middle ear system at a specified pressure, measured in mmHo.
If the tympanometer records compliance in mmho, use this data element. If the tympanometer records compliance in cc or ml, use the 'Compliance (Volume) data element.
0..5 mmho
Peak pressurePeak pressure: Peak pressure (also called tympanometric peak pressure or middle ear pressure or MEP) is the ear canal pressure at which the peak of the tympanogram occurs.
Also known as Middle Ear Pressure (MEP). It is plotted on the horizontal axis on a tympanogram.
-400..200
Units:
  • daPa
  • mm[H20]
Static compliance (volume)Static compliance (volume): Static compliance (SC) is the greatest amount of acoustic energy absorbed by the middle ear system (the vertical peak of the tympanogram curve).
0..5; 0..5
Units:
  • ml
  • cc
Static compliance (conductance)Static compliance (conductance): Static compliance (SC) is the greatest amount of acoustic energy absorbed by the middle ear system (the vertical peak of the tympanogram curve).
Also known as 'Static Admittance'. It is plotted on the verical axis of a tympanogram.
0..5 mmho
Ear canal volumeEar canal volume: An estimate of the volume of air between the probe tip and the tympanic membrane if the tympanic membrane is intact, or the volume of the ear canal and the middle ear space if the tympanic membrane is perforated. (Fowler & Shanks, 2002, p. 180).
0..5; 0..5
Units:
  • cc
  • ml
Tympanometric widthTympanometric width: The pressure interval corresponding to a 50% reduction in the peak static admittance.
This value is typically derived from the Tympanogram curve. In some immittance machines, for example the Grason Stadler GSI 39, this data element is known as 'gradient'.
0..400 daPa
Tympanometric gradientTympanometric gradient: The steepness of the slope of the tympanogram near the peak.
This value is typically derived from the Tympanogram curve.

No test resultNo test result: No test result is available for the test ear.
Record as True if the clinician was unable to record a result for the test ear.
Reason for no test resultReason for no test result: Reason why no result is available for the test ear.
Coding with a terminology is preferred, where possible. For example, patient was not co-operative; patient was not capable; ran out of time; no seal; presence of tympanic membrane perforation, impacted wax or discharge.

Tympanogram typeTympanogram type: Description of the the shape of the tympanogram curve, based on the Jerger categories.
If Type B or C subtypes are to be used in an implementation, these should be substituted for the global 'Type B' or 'Type C' classification here. Both 'Type B' and 'Type B - low compliance'/'Type B - high compliance' should not be used in the same implementation. Similarly, both 'Type C' and Types C1-3 should not be used in the same implementation.
  • Type A 
  • Type As 
  • Type Ad 
  • Type B 
  • Type B with high ECV 
  • Type B with low ECV 
  • Type C 
  • Type Cs
