Ear Examination
In a session for an OTOLARYNGOLOGY clinic, the Ear Exam Panel opens:
| Field | Options |
|---|---|
| Side | Right / Left / Bilateral |
| External Ear | Normal / Erythema / Discharge / Swelling |
| EAC (Canal) | Clear / Wax / Foreign body / Otitis externa |
| TM (Tympanic Membrane) | Intact/Normal / Perforated / Retracted / Dull / Bulging |
| Perforation | Central / Peripheral / Attic |
| Middle Ear | Clear / Fluid level / Air bubbles / Mass |
| Notes | Free text |

Audiogram
Record pure-tone audiometry results:
- Session → Audiogram → + New Test.
- Enter air conduction (AC) and bone conduction (BC) thresholds for each frequency (250, 500, 1k, 2k, 4k, 8k Hz) for both ears.
- Classify hearing loss type:
- Conductive (AC > BC > 10 dB)
- Sensorineural (BC ≈ AC, both elevated)
- Mixed
- Calculate average hearing loss (PTA — pure tone average).
The AI ENT Audiogram Interpreter generates a clinical narrative explaining the degree, type, and likely aetiology of hearing loss.

Tympanometry

Immunotherapy
For patients on subcutaneous or sublingual immunotherapy:
- Patient chart → Immunotherapy Sessions → + Session.
