Schaumburg, IL., December, 2008 - GN Otometrics, the world leader in hearing and balance diagnostic systems, is proud to present the latest addition to its product portfolio, the MADSEN Astera;a state-of-the-art clinical audiometer.
The Astera combines the best of traditional stand-alone audiometers and newer PC-based systems, thereby creating a new standard in clinical audiometry. Why not let the individual audiologist decide what is preferred and most appropriate for a particular clinical test? The Astera's flexible design platform allows each user to operate the audiometer in a manner that suits their individual comfort level, either through the familiar layout of the Audiometer Control Panel, the PC-based keyboard or mouse. The way you operate the Astera is perfectly unique, while the results are perfectly consistent.
Soren Holst, President of GN Otometrics, states "The Astera audiometer is a truly unique product, offering our customers flexible and intuitive features in a modern design. It has already generated an amazing response and I am confident in saying that we are about to launch the new standard in clinical audiometry. "
The Astera can truly fulfill the needs of any busy clinic: It can be personalized with extensive user test functionality, which allows customized view options and ensures optimized efficiency across multiple users. The comprehensive test battery, high frequency testing (up to 20,000 Hz) and a built-in power amplifier delivers a powerful audiometer with many innovative clinical features to save time as well as money. One-click data logging, combined immittance and audiometry reporting, and seamless integration with other diagnostic and fitting tools through the OTOsuite universe, all contribute to a more efficient, testing process. Unique features such as multiple speaker routing FRESH (FREquency Specific Hearing assessment) noise and talk-to-assistant functionality support the pediatric testing process.
