THANK YOU
Thank you for purchasing an Amplivox Otowave 102, a hand-held, portable tympanometer that will
give many years of reliable service if treated with care. This operating manual covers product variants

INTENDED APPLICATIONS
The Otowave 102 is designed for use by audiologists, general practitioners, hearing aid dispensers
and child health professionals.
The instrument performs two types of measurement:
Tympanometry
is used to measure the compliance of the tympanic membrane and middle ear at a
fixed frequency over a range of pressures.
Reflex tests
are used to measure stapedial reflexes. The Otowave measures ipsilateral reflexes
and, when selected, reflex measurement is automatically carried out after a tympanogram is taken.

Automatic measurement of ear canal volume, tympanic compliance peak, placement of the
peak and the gradient
Automatic detection of stapedial reflexes

Printout via an infrared (IrDA) link to one of two thermal printers that may be selected by the
