Acoustic reflex testing and tympanometry are two different things

Sup @Stanlex. I remember getting a tympanometry test, prior to my hearing test, back in the day when my tinnitus was only mild. I subsequently had a ten minute spike where I could hear my tinnitus over the sound of the engine of the bus I was taking home from the hospital. To this day I won't go near one of those things.

@Damocles hi. When I had it, it was the loudest thing I have even heard. And they had to repeat the test because I was laughing. I laughed because it was funny that someone comes with tinnitus and they test ears with acoustic trauma tier noises.

My T began in the evening on the day when I had a tympanometry test done.

@Bill Bauer Absolutely not surprised. The tympanography is like an acoustic trauma simulator

When it was done to me, it didn't sound loud, and it didn't make me feel uncomfortable...
