I-Tympanometry

I-Tympanometry isivivinyo esisetshenziselwa ukuthola izinkinga endlebeni ephakathi.

Ngaphambi kokuhlolwa, umhlinzeki wakho wokunakekelwa kwezempilo uzobheka ngaphakathi kwendlebe yakho ukuze aqiniseke ukuthi akukho okuvimba i-eardrum.

Okulandelayo, kufakwa idivayisi endlebeni yakho. Le divayisi ishintsha umfutho womoya osendlebeni yakho futhi yenze indlebe iye emuva naphambili. Umshini uqopha imiphumela kumagrafu abizwa ngama-tympanograms.

Akufanele unyakaze, ukhulume, noma ugwinye ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa. Ukuhamba okunjalo kungashintsha ingcindezi endlebeni emaphakathi futhi kunikeze imiphumela yokuhlola engalungile.

Imisindo ezwiwe ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa ingaba phezulu. Lokhu kungamangaza. Uzodinga ukuzama kanzima ukuze uhlale uzolile futhi ungathuki ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa. Uma ingane yakho izokwenza lokhu kuhlolwa, kungasiza ukukhombisa ukuthi isivivinyo senziwa kanjani kusetshenziswa unodoli. Lapho ingane yakho yazi ngokwengeziwe ukuthi yini okufanele ikulindele nokuthi kungani kwenziwa ukuhlolwa, ingane yakho iyoba novalo oluncane.

Kungaba khona ukungaphatheki kahle ngenkathi uphenyo lusendlebeni, kepha akukho monakalo ozovela. Uzozwa umsindo omkhulu futhi uzwe ingcindezi endlebeni yakho lapho kukalwa izilinganiso.

Lokhu kuhlolwa kukala ukuthi indlebe yakho iphendula kanjani ekucindezelweni umsindo nokuhlukile.

Ingcindezi engaphakathi kwendlebe ephakathi ingahluka ngenani elincane kakhulu. I-eardrum kufanele ibukeke ibushelelezi.

I-Tympanometry ingaveza noma yikuphi okulandelayo:

• Isimila endlebeni ephakathi
• Uketshezi endlebeni ephakathi
• I-wax yendlebe ethintekile
• Ukuntuleka kokuxhumana phakathi kwamathambo wokuqhuba endlebeni ephakathi
• I-eardrum ebunjiwe
• Ukugqashuka kwendlebe

Azikho izingozi ngalokhu kuhlolwa.
