Tympanometry in the premature infants of different gestational age during the primary audiological examination

: The objective of the present work was to study specific approaches of tympanometry in the premature infants of different gestational age. A total of 122 typmanograms (243 ears) were available for the analysis. Peculiarities of recording tympanograms and their characteristics in the premature infants of different gestational age (including static compliance, intratympanic pressure, and tympanogram width) have been demonstrated. The optimal frequency of tympanometry in the premature infants of different gestational age was determined.
