However, those patients who are too ill or too young to respond should undergo only objective testing, such as
otoscopy, tympanometry, acoustic reflexes, and DPOAEs or ABRs [73].
Promoting diagnostic accuracy in general practitioner management of otitis media in children: findings from a multimodal, interactive workshop on tympanometry and pneumatic
otoscopy. Qual Prim Care.
A study conducted at the Holy Family Hospital by Tallat Najeeb and colleagues using
otoscopy and tympanometry found OME in 7% of the 563 children examined.12 Another study was conducted by Tallat Jabeen and colleagues in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad involving 600 children in different schools.
The AFHCAN system enables video
otoscopy, audiometry, tympanometry, hearing aid clearance, and follow-up to surgery at remote clinics throughout rural Alaska.
Otoscopy confirmed a ruptured tympanic membrane, and a brainstem auditory evoked response test confirmed loss of hearing in the affected ear.
These examiners almost always use pneumatic
otoscopy (a tool that pushes air in and out of the ear canal to more accurately test for ear disease) or an otomicroscope (allowing for three dimensional ear exams).
A 2-year prospective study of 2- to 6-year-old preschoolers revealed that MEE, diagnosed via monthly
otoscopy and tympanometry, occurred at least once in 53% of the children in the first year and in 61% of the children in the second year.
A new, more stringent definition of acute odds media that focuses on tympanic membrane appearance on
otoscopy and downplays the diagnostic role of symptoms highlighted the new acute otitis media diagnosis and management guidelines released by the American Academy of Pediatrics on Feb.
