GSI Tympstar Middle Ear Analyser
GSI TympStar Middle Ear Analyser
The GSI TympStar is a clinical-grade middle ear analyser designed to perform comprehensive diagnostic assessments of middle ear function. Manufactured by Grason-Stadler (GSI), the TympStar offers a full battery of tests including tympanometry, acoustic reflex threshold and decay, Eustachian tube function, and multifrequency testing. It is widely used in ENT clinics, audiology departments, and research environments for accurate and reproducible middle ear evaluations.
With a user-friendly interface, touchscreen display, and programmable protocols, the TympStar streamlines workflow and provides consistent results. The device supports manual and automated testing, helping audiologists and ENT specialists assess pathologies like otitis media, ossicular disruption, and eustachian tube dysfunction. Advanced reporting tools allow easy integration with electronic medical records or print-based formats.
