## tympanogram_diagram.jpg The image consists of a series of three panels labeled A, B, and C, each depicting different scenarios related to ear function, specifically focusing on impedance and admittance. The left side of the image contains four graphs showing changes in admittance (measured in mmho) against air pressure (in daPa). Each graph represents a different scenario or probe setting. 1. **Panel A**: - The top-left graph shows an admittance curve with no significant peak, indicating that there is little to no change in admittance as the air pressure changes. - The text "Probe +200 daPa" suggests that this scenario involves a positive 200 daPa probe setting. 2. **Panel B**: - The middle-left graph shows an admittance curve with a peak at zero air pressure, indicating maximum admittance when the air pressure is neutral. - The text "Probe +200 daPa" again indicates that this scenario involves a positive 200 daPa probe setting. 3. **Panel C**: - The bottom-left graph shows an admittance curve with a peak at zero air pressure, similar to Panel B but with slightly different values. - The text "Probe +200 daPa" again indicates that this scenario involves a positive 200 daPa probe setting. 4. **Panels A, B, and C (right side)**: - Each panel on the right side of the image provides a diagram illustrating the relationship between impedance and admittance in different parts of the ear. - Panel A shows an outer ear with no significant change in admittance or impedance as indicated by the arrows pointing to both sides without any notable directionality, suggesting that there is little to no interaction at this level. - Panel B shows a middle ear where the arrow for admittance points towards the right and the arrow for impedance points towards the left. This suggests an increase in admittance with a corresponding decrease in impedance as air pressure changes. - Panel C shows a similar scenario but with reversed arrows, indicating that there is an increase in impedance with a corresponding decrease in admittance. The image is sourced from Kramer & Brown's "Audiology: Science to Practice," which suggests it is educational material related to the study of hearing and ear function.
