1.6 Features and Benefits of the easyTymp

The purpose of the easyTymp test system is to provide a rapid Tympanometry and
Acoustic reflex measurements to measure the middle ear status where a pass or refer
notation is identified. easyTymp provides an optional 1 kHz probe tone for testing newborns.
Factory defined protocols allow for simple screening measurements, and different versions
are available that provide diagnostic testing functions. As with any type of hearing
screening, a "pass" result should not overrule any additional concerns regarding middle
ear function. A referral to physician should be administered if concerns about middle ear
function persists.
The easyTymp cradle serves as a docking and recharging station for the handheld device
and can include an integrated printer or opening for placement of the eartip box.
Using the included Software, the handheld unit will transfer data to a PC via USB-
connection while in the docking station, or it can also transfer data directly via USB cable
when no docking station is available.
The easyTymp comes in multiple versions and configurations dependent on the country
and service partner. Each version provides specific testing functionalities dependent upon
the user needs.
