Tympanometry with cochlear implants
Multifrequency and multicomponent tympanometry enables evaluation of minute changes in the middle ear system as well as changes in resonant frequency. Change in resonant frequency would indicate a change in the natural characteristics of the middle ear, such as mass...Endoscopic middle ear surgery for cholesteatoma treatment
