## PC-Based Tympanometer

**Our PC-based tympanometer** is a versatile tool for diagnosing middle ear pathologies in patients of all ages, from pediatrics to adults. The device combines ease of use with advanced diagnostic capabilities, ensuring rapid and accurate results. With the included software, test results and patient data can be seamlessly printed or transferred via PDF to an electronic medical record. The simple USB connection allows for real-time previewing of both ears and quick, full-color printouts.

Featuring the standard 226 Hz probe tone, and an optional 1000 Hz tone, it offers exactly what is needed for reliable tympanometry.

## Standalone Tympanometer

**The Measure Standalone Tympanometer** is a battery-operated, portable diagnostic tympanometer that offers unparalleled flexibility and top-of-the-line features.

With high-frequency 1000 Hz tympanometry, multi-frequency tympanometry, ipsi/contralateral acoustic reflex testing, and Eustachian Tube functionality (ETF) testing, a comprehensive assessment of middle ear functionality is at your fingertips. For further flexibility, the system can be also configured to measure otoacoustic emissions (OAEs), including FMDPOAE®, TEOAE, and pressurized OAEs. With these tests, the clinicians have access to an even more detailed assessment of patients' middle and inner ear function.

## **Comprehensive Assessments** performed with our Tympanometers

## Tympanometry

Tympanometry at 226 Hz is a standard diagnostic test used to evaluate middle ear function for adults and children.

## 1000Hz Tympanometry

Tympanometry at 1000 Hz is used to evaluate middle ear function for infants under 6 months of age as their middle ear resonance differs from adults. Clinicians can also glean more information regarding adult middle ear status with this method.

## Acoustic Reflexes

Acoustic reflexes measure the contraction of the stapedius muscle in response to loud sounds. As this process involves the cochlear nerve as well as the middle ear, it can provide diagnostic information throughout the auditory system.

## Acoustic Reflex Decay

Acoustic reflex decay examines the auditory system’s ability to maintain the muscle contraction seem in the acoustic reflex. This test is used to help differentiate between cochlear and retrocochlear pathology.

## DPOAE/TEOAE

Otoacoustic emissions, including distortion product (DPOAE) and transient evoked (TEOAE) measure the response from hair cells in the cochlear to soft sounds. Clinicians can obtain information on inner ear function using this method, even in individuals who cannot respond behaviorally

## FMDPOAE® pressurized OAEs

Evaluate inner ear function despite middle ear pathology. With FMDPOAE pressurized OAEs, clinicians are able to obtain OAE results in individuals with negative middle ear pressure.

## Contralateral Acoustic Reflexes

Taking advantage of the acoustic reflex and the crossover that occurs in the auditory pathway, contralateral acoustic reflexes can help to differentiate between cochlear and retrocochlear pathologies.

**Frequently Asked Questions**

## What is a tympanometer?

A tympanometer is a medical device used to evaluate how efficiently sound energy is transferred from the outer ear, via the middle ear, to the inner ear. Inefficient transfer of sound can, for example, be due to middle ear infection, otosclerosis, or fluid in the middle ear.

## What is a tympanometer used for?

It is used to diagnose middle ear conditions like fluid buildup, eardrum perforations, and Eustachian tube dysfunction, helping to assess hearing issues.

## How do you read a tympanometer?

Reading a tympanometer involves analyzing the tympanogram, which shows a graph of ear canal pressure versus eardrum compliance, identifying normal (Type A), stiff (Type B), or negative pressure (Type C) curves, which correlate to different middle ear conditions.

## How do you choose between various tympanometers?

Choosing a tympanometer depends on factors like the range of test frequencies, ease of use, data storage options, and whether you need additional functions like reflex testing or handheld portability.
