Discover the root cause of your hearing discomfort. With over 20 years of clinical expertise, our audiologists provide fast, painless middle-ear testing at our 10+ Mumbai clinics or right in the comfort of your home.
What is an Impedance Audiometry Test?
While standard hearing tests check how well you hear sounds, Impedance Audiometry (also known as Tympanometry) checks the physical health of your middle ear. It measures how well your eardrum moves and whether the tiny bones behind it are functioning correctly. It is a completely objective test – meaning you don’t need to press any buttons or answer any questions. The equipment does all the work, making it incredibly accurate for diagnosing conductive hearing loss.
Signs You Might Need Middle-Ear Testing
You should consider booking an impedance test if you or your child are experiencing:
- A feeling of “fullness,” pressure, or blockage in the ear.
- Muffled hearing, especially after a cold or during the Mumbai monsoon season.
- Frequent ear infections or suspected fluid behind the eardrum (very common in children).
- A recent history of ear trauma or a suspected perforated eardrum.
- Facial nerve issues or unexplained dizziness.
Skip the Mumbai Traffic: Get Tested at Home
Ear pain or pressure can be incredibly disorienting, making a long commute across the city the last thing you want to do. Crystal Hearing Solutions brings advanced diagnostic care directly to you.
Using calibrated, highly portable tympanometers, our expert audiologists can perform a complete Impedance Audiometry test in the quiet of your own home. It is exactly the same clinical-grade test you would receive in-clinic, ensuring your parents or children get the care they need without the stress of travel.
What to Expect: A Fast and Painless Process
We know medical tests can cause anxiety, but impedance audiometry is quick, safe, and completely painless.
Step 1: Visual Inspection (Otoscopy).
We first check your ear canal with a specialized light to ensure there is no heavy wax buildup blocking the eardrum.
Step 2: The Tympanometry Test.
We place a soft, small rubber probe tip into your ear canal. You will hear a continuous humming tone and feel a slight change in air pressure, similar to the feeling of your ears “popping” when driving down the Lonavala ghats or flying in an airplane.
Step 3: Instant Diagnostics.
The test takes less than two minutes per ear. We instantly review the graph (tympanogram) with you to explain whether your middle ear is healthy, fluid-filled, or stiff.

Yes, absolutely. Because the test requires no active response from the patient, it is highly recommended for children and infants to check for middle ear fluid (glue ear) or infections.
Usually, yes. PTA tells us how much hearing loss you have, while Impedance Audiometry tells us where the physical problem might be located in the middle ear. Together, they provide a complete picture of your hearing health.
