Abstract: The special anatomical and functional characteristics of the middle and outer ear of infants limit the usability of traditional single-frequency tympanometry testing in assessing middle ear function. The wideband tympanometry test can evaluate the reception and transmission of sound energy in a wide frequency range(0.2-8 kHz). Compared with the conventional single-frequency tympanometry, it does not require external pressure to the ear-canal and has the advantages of short test time and dynamic assessment of peripheral auditory development characteristics and middle ear function in infants. The wideband tympanometry test can improve the accuracy of hearing screening and middle ear function assessment in infants.

Key words: Wideband tympanometry, Middle ear, Infant
