The first step in hearing care is diagnosing a hearing problem. The current model of hearing care is limited by the need for sound-treated rooms and heavy equipment, making it difficult to provide services outside of clinics. This creates significant gaps in hearing care for those with limited access to services.
A piece of innovative equipment that has revolutionized hearing care but is not well recognized is eMoyo's Kuduwave.
A highly accurate, location-independent (no need for sound treated booth) diagnostic audiometer, the Kuduwave, is designed to help hearing healthcare. It features eMoyo’s unique Ambi-Dome passive attenuation functionality and can conduct high-frequency testing up to 16.0 KHz and acoustic immittance measurements. The Kuduwave Pro-TMP Audiometer can conduct bilateral simultaneous tympanometry and ipsi and contralateral acoustic reflex measurements without swapping the probe to the opposite ear. All Kuduwave audiometers are equipped with tele-audiology functionality, allowing remote testing and integrated patient management. It is a handy tool for ototoxicity monitoring, school screening, mass screening, occupational health, and customized testing protocols for hearing care professionals. Completely contained within a lightweight headset (0.432kg), the Kuduwave™ is the most cost-effective system on the market. The plug & play (USB) hardware and Windows®-based software provide easy setup, intuitive operation, and accurate testing.
