Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to ear-wearable device that can be used to detect conditions associated with the ears and related methods. In an embodiment, an ear-wearable device is included having a control circuit, a microphone, an electroacoustic transducer for generating sound in electrical communication with the control circuit, a motion sensor, and a power supply circuit, wherein the ear-wearable device is configured to provide auditory stimulation across a range of frequencies with the electroacoustic transducer, detect vibrations within or about the ear with the microphone, and identify a resonant vibrational frequency based on detected vibrations. Other embodiments are also included herein.
