tonometry measures the movement of the eardrum.
a true
b false

Explanation:

• Conductive hearing loss is typically due to issues in the outer or middle ear (e.g., blocked ear canal, problems with eardrum or ossicles), not damage to the cochlear nerve (which is related to sensorineural hearing loss).
• Tonometry is a test to measure intra - ocular pressure (in the eye), not the movement of the eardrum (tympanometry measures eardrum movement).
