j. Has reflex threshold testing with artifact-free tracings.

k. Eliminates the “null” point that cancels out the reflex with multiplex pulsed tone stimulation for ipsilateral reflex recordings.

l. The tympanometry can function both: screening and diagnostics.

m. User defined auto sequence testing by performing tympanometry, reflex threshold, and reflex decay testing with a single button press.

n. Define patient or user specific test protocols that will adjust settings for immediate testing.

o. Multiple probe tone frequencies and multi-Hz testing: 226, 678, and 1,000 Hz.
