A member asked:
I had a tympanometry today at ent office. nurse performed 4 times in each ear back to back, due to printer error. is this harmful to my ear,?

No: Tympanometry is a measurement of middle ear pressure and should not cause any injury to the ear canal or ear drum. The most important question is once the printer did function, what were the results? Furthermore, the nurse could have easily read the graphic results on the screen before it was printed.
