Abstract: A smartphone and tympanometer-based middle ear abnormality detection mobile system and a method for detecting middle ear abnormalities by a mobile computing device coupled to a tympanometer is disclosed. The method detects middle ear abnormalities by a smartphone-based tympanometer, thereby allowing mobility for medical practitioners to check for middle ear abnormalities in people unable to visit an ENT at a medical facility. The method is implemented as a software application that runs on the mobile computing device and displays results instantly to help determine any of several types of middle ear infection which may be present. This is a huge improvement over existing process where a doctor has to make that determination based on his/her interpretation of the tympanogram.
