Summary: Review of Chapter 17 on Acoustic Immittance Measurements
Review: In this chapter on multifrequency tympanometry Robert Margolis and Lisa Hunter, Otolaryngology Department, University of Minnesota, USA present (*) a summary of the linear theory used to interpret the immittance measurements, (*) examples of actual measurement as well as (*) the steps in the practical procedure and (*) the reliability of this method in diagnosing middle ear diseases.

It is the clearest and most detailed presentation of tympanometry I have been able to find (you can find a detailed primer on the physics of tympanometry -based on Margolis's and Hunter's chapter- by searching with Google for tympanometry + lymenet).
