Tympanometer
Free!
A fast, objective tympanometer for middle-ear assessment. It measures eardrum mobility and acoustic reflexes, producing clear tympanograms in seconds—even with young children or hard-to-test patients. Ideal for ENT clinics, audiology practices, pediatric programs, and workplace screening. Lightweight design, simple probes, and exportable reports keep workflows efficient while meeting recognized calibration standards. Choose it to detect fluid, negative pressure, or perforations early and guide treatment with confidence.
Description
A tympanometer is a handheld or desktop diagnostic device that evaluates middle-ear function by measuring how the eardrum moves in response to small changes in air pressure and sound. The test, called tympanometry, quickly reveals problems such as fluid behind the eardrum, Eustachian tube dysfunction, perforations, ossicular chain issues, and negative pressure. Many units also test acoustic reflexes, providing an objective picture of the auditory pathway from the ear canal to the brainstem. Results appear instantly as tympanograms and reflex tracings that can be stored, printed, or exported to records.

Data transfer to electronic records for compliance and follow-up
Typical users and applications
-
ENT clinics and hospitals for pre- and post-treatment evaluation
-
Audiology and hearing aid centers to differentiate conductive from sensorineural loss
-
Pediatric and school screenings to detect otitis media and glue ear
-
Occupational health programs and pre-employment checks
-
Research and teaching labs for middle-ear mechanics
Compared with otoscopes, a tympanometer provides quantified, reproducible evidence rather than a visual impression. Compared with a full audiometer, it delivers rapid, objective middle-ear status without patient responses. Quality models are designed for calibration against recognized standards such as ANSI S3.39 and IEC 60645 series when serviced appropriately. Choose it to reduce diagnostic uncertainty, document outcomes, and streamline referrals.
