U
SE CASES
The Timpani can be used to conduct automatic tympanometry tests at low
frequency (226 Hz) and at high frequency (1000 Hz, only with 1 kHz Probe Tone
license) and ipsilateral acoustic reflex tests (only with Reflex – Basic or Reflex –
Plus license). Moreover, it is also possible to perform the audiometry test using
pure tones by activating the Tonal Audiometry license.
These tests must be conducted in a particularly quiet environment in order to
avoid artifacts.
The Timpani tympanometer is intended for use by persons who have a detailed
knowledge of the procedures associated with the tests supported by the
instrument; the operator must therefore be either an audiometrist (or a technician
having the requisite levels of audiological knowledge) or a medical practitioner
in possession of specific skills (ENT or audiology specialist).
