The tympanometer measures the admittance or compliance of the tympanic membrane while different pressures are being applied to the external ear canal. The compliance of the TM is measured in cubic centimeters, and the pressure in the ear canal is measured in decapascals (daPa).The probe has different size plugs that provide a seal at the entrance to the external ear canal.hysics of the Tympanogram. If the middle ear space is filled with fluid, most of the sound is reflected back to the probe from the stiff tympanic membrane. If the middle ear space is filled with air, and the ossicles are intact, energy is absorbed by the tympanic membrane, ossicles, and inner ear structures.
While iron is better absorbed from heme (meat) sources, non-heme (plant) iron is better regulated causing less damage to the body. High iron foods include clams, liver, sunflower seeds, nuts, beef, lamb, beans, whole grains, dark leafy greens (spinach), dark chocolate, and tofu. The current daily value (DV) for iron is 18 milligrams (mg). Below is a list of high iron foods. For more high iron foods see the lists of high iron foods by nutrient density, iron rich foods (heme and non-heme), and the list of fruits and vegetables high in iron. #1: Squash and Pumpkin Seeds. Other Seeds High in Iron (%DV per ounce (28g)): Sesame (23%), Sunflower (11%), and Flax (9%).
If you mix some lean meat, fish, or poultry with beans or dark leafy greens at a meal, you can improve absorption of vegetable sources of iron up to three times. Foods rich in vitamin C ( such as citrus, strawberries, tomatoes, and potatoes) also increase iron absorption. Cooking foods in a cast-iron skillet can also help to increase the amount of iron provided. Some foods reduce iron absorption.
