A member asked:
What is the implication of positive pressure with a tympanogram in adults. i was told my eardrum did not retract but just bulged out with the test.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abnormal eardrum: The eardrum should be mobile, and the drum should move back and forth with minimal air pressure change. If it is immobile there is something wrong - such as a build up of fluid and pressure in the middle ear from an effusion or an infection, or some other process that is immobilizing the middle ear.
