Describe the tympanograms: A(s), A(d), B, C
A(s): shallow, curve in normal position but compliance low, assoc with ossicular fixation or TM scarring.
A(d): disarticulation, curve normally positioned but compliance very high. Assoc with ossicular disarticulation.
B: retracted poorly mobile. Curve shifted left (negative middle ear pressure) but peak is absent, compliance lower than normal. Suggests fluid behind TM.
C*: negative pressure, curve shifted left, clear peak. Suggests Eustachian tube dysfunction and conductive loss.
