Méthode de mesure dans laquelle la valeur de la grandeur à mesurer est déterminée par équilibrage en ajustant une ou plusieurs grandeurs, de valeurs connues, reliées à la grandeur à mesurer par une relation connue à l'équilibre. Exemple : mesurage d'une impédance électrique avec un pont et un indicateur de zéro.

La troisième méthode est l'impédancemétrie. Elle permet d'évaluer la qualité de la transmission du son à travers le tympan et la chaîne ossiculaire (appareil de transmission). [...] Dans un premier temps, l'examen porte sur l'évaluation de la souplesse du tympan : on mesure l'énergie de retour d'un son, lorsqu'on fait varier les équilibres de pression interne et externe de part et d'autre de la membrane. [...] Dans un second temps, on étudie le fonctionnement de la chaîne ossiculaire : c'est la recherche du seuil de stimulation à partir duquel se produit le réflexe stapédien : contraction réflexe du muscle de chaque étrier (au niveau des deux oreilles) sous l'effet d'un bruit trop intense. 3, record 3, French, - imp%C3%A9dancem%C3%A9trie
