    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure disclose various tympanometry techniques. A tympanometry curve is generated for a user based at least in part on audio data indicative of a sound absorbance associated with a middle ear (ME) system over a fragment of an evaluation time period. A curve-pressure pair including the tympanometry curve and a correlating pressure measurement is generated and utilized to identify historical data indicative of a plurality of historical curve-pressure pairs with similar pressure measurements to the correlating pressure measurement. A performance metric is generated for the ME system of the user based at least in part on a comparison between the tympanometry curve and the historical data.

    Abstract: An ear ailment diagnostic device and method in accordance with the present disclosure generally comprises a pair of earpieces, which both further comprise a light source, a magnification lens, an air conduction channel and a miniature camera. The earpieces may optionally comprise a thermometer and/or tympanometer. Each earpiece is coupled to an air conduction tube, an insufflator and an electrical wiring/data tube which is coupled to a computer. The insufflator may be manually, electronically, or battery powered. In the preferred embodiment the computer comprises a smart phone with data processing capability and wireless communication capability. Any data sent from the device can then be interpreted and diagnosed in a remote location so that an accurate treatment is prescribed.

    Abstract: The present application is directed towards method and systems for determining appropriate morphology changes of an eardrum to restore sensor neural hearing. The methods include receiving a measurement of an audibility threshold, a map of a surface area of an eardrum of the patient, and an impedance of the eardrum of the patient. The methods further include determining, based on at least one of the audibility threshold, the map of the surface area, and the impedance, a thickness value to modify a morphology of a portion of the eardrum of the patient to improve hearing of the patient.
