AUTOMATIC TEST SEQUENCES
Speed up your middle-ear tests with the two available automatic exam sequences combined with special “fast” algorithms, all accurately developed to shorten the time needed for tympanometry and acoustic reflex assessments.
ULTIMATE HARDWARE TECHNOLOGY
Viola features an innovative pump technology for continuous air flow and a finely-designed probe. All combined with a powerful, DSP-based sound generator board for tympanometry and audiometry functions.
INCREDIBLY PORTABLE
Very small footprint, just 2 Kg of weight: now you can carry your complete diagnostic station in a small suitcase!
THE PROBE
Viola features an extremely light, small and sturdy metal probe, which can be very rapidly disassembled and cleaned. The probe is connected to the small Control Box, through which you can select the ear and start the exam.
THE DISPLAY
One of the strength points of Viola is its display: an amazing high resolution, color LCD, on which you can clearly view the results of your examinations.
