Abstract

Tinnitus is a symptom of many disorders affecting the auditory system. While Impedance Audiometry provides no specific etiologic information about tinnitus, it is a useful diagnostic tool to localize various types of auditory dys-function. This paper sketches usefulness of impedance testing in diagnosis of retro-cochlear lesions, in otosclerosis and in objective tinnitus.
