Standalone and PC-Based Tympanometers
The Measure Tympanometry suite offers a full range of tests and full flexibility. Together they cover all the needs for immittance measurements. The advanced stand-alone tympanometer can be expanded to advanced diagnostics including OAEs, whereas the PC-based tympanometer is perfect for those situations when a basic tympanogram is required.
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.
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.
Experience flexibility with both the stand-alone and PC-based tympanometer. Both are compact, portable diagnostic tympanometers suitable both for use in clinics and on the go.
Both the stand-alone and PC-based Measure tympanometers are capable of full middle ear assessment, including high-frequency tympanometry. The stand-alone version can also do contralateral reflex testing and be expanded with OAE capabilities.
One probe for all tests, indicator light for optimal probe fit, and intuitive user interface, both the stand-alone and PC-based tympanometer are easy to use and ensures correct middle ear assessments.

Tympanometry at 226 Hz is a standard diagnostic test used to evaluate middle ear function for adults and children.
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 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 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
It is used to diagnose middle ear conditions like fluid buildup, eardrum perforations, and Eustachian tube dysfunction, helping to assess hearing issues.
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.
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.
