<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Tympanometry is an objective examination that used to test condition of middle ear, mobility of tympanic membrane and the ossicles.The results are displayed in a curve called timpanogram. Timpanogram influenced by several factors, including age and race.The purpose of this study was to provide normal values of tympanogram in children aged 1 to 5 years. This study was an analytic research with cross sectional approach in 90 normal children aged 1-5 years through a routine examination with ear otoscopy and tympanometry. From the 90 samples (180 ears) the average value of the volume of the ear canal / Vea was 0.469 mL in the right ear and 0,495 mL in the left ear, the mean compliance / SAA 0.396 mL in the right ear and 0.380 mL in the left ear, and the average pressure / TPP -56.78 daPa on the right ear and the left ear daPa-53.26. Compared with the results of existing studies, the average value of the ear canal volume/ Vea and mean compliance/ SAA in children aged 1-5 years in Bandung showed lower. Statistically, in the Vea, there was a significant differences between men and women, with p = 0.041 in the right ear and p = 0.027 in the left ear. There was a correlation between variables Vea with SAA. Keywords: tympanogram, children ages 1-5 years.]]>
