Sensitivity and specificity of tympanometric gradient and middle ear resonance in young children and infants

This paper discusses the use of tympanometric gradient, middle ear resonance and static admittance as diagnostic tools for testing the hearing of children and infants.

Efficacy of high-frequency tympanometry in infants birth to six months of age: A pilot study

The purpose of this study was to assess the use of 1 kHz tympanometry in young infants. A larger sample will be needed to develop definitive norms and determine the sensitivity and specificity of 1 kHz tympanometry for middle ear pathology in young infants.
