Various cases and their testing are presented to illustrate practical application to middle ear and inner ear disease states. Interpretation of the results of three components of impedance audiometry -- tympanometry, static compliance and acoustic reflexes -- is explained. The tests' function as far as differential diagnosis of otologic disease is defined. Written abstracts, which include post-tests, key the contents of each segment to the digital counter of the videocassette machine to facilitate the accessibility of any section. This well-organized production is enhanced by numerous renditions of drawings, actual equipment and test graphs. This program is highly recommended for use.
