Hearing and vision are two of the five senses. You're already an expert in one. TympaHealth lets you offer the other — adding a high-value, adjacent service line that differentiates your practice and generates $20K+ in additional annual revenue.
The overlap between your current patients, your existing skill set, and hearing care demand is bigger than you might think.
The same 50+ demographic driving your cataract, glaucoma, and macular degeneration workload is also the highest-prevalence group for hearing loss.
Optometrists and ophthalmic technicians already use precision imaging equipment, perform standardised assessments, and interpret diagnostic results — skills that transfer directly to Tympa.
Most optometry practices offer nothing beyond vision. Adding hearing care immediately distinguishes your practice — particularly for retirement communities, senior living referrals, and family practices.
Offer a hearing assessment alongside every annual vision exam. Patients appreciate one-stop sensory health care. Additional revenue per visit with no additional appointments.
Unlike audiology, you won't be competing with ENT specialists for complex cases. Tympa is designed for screening, wax removal, and mild hearing assessment — exactly what primary sensory care needs.
Annual hearing checks become part of your patient retention model — bringing patients back for combined vision and hearing reviews, year after year.
4K imaging of the ear canal — analogous to the clinical imaging you already use for eye examinations. Intuitive, precise, and documentable.
Multi-frequency pure-tone screening from 500 Hz – 8 kHz. Identify hearing loss early, before patients self-report. Flag at-risk patients for follow-up.
Safe microsuction wax removal billed under CPT® 69210. A common, high-demand service that patients are actively seeking — and currently can't find quickly.
Three primary CPT® codes: 92502 (otoscopy), 69210 (cerumen removal), 92551 (hearing screen). Stack billings per visit to maximise revenue per patient encounter.
Your technicians and optometrists are trained and confident in under 2 hours. The learning curve is minimal for anyone experienced with diagnostic imaging equipment.
The Tympa System requires no permanent installation. It fits on any exam room surface and powers on instantly — no workflow disruption, no structural changes.
TympaHealth integrates into your existing exam room workflow. No major renovations, no dedicated space, no new patient scheduling system required.
Optometrists and technicians learn the Tympa System quickly — similar instrumentation to what you already use. Full certification in under 2 hours.
Add a hearing screen option to your annual eye exam booking. Patients who say yes get both services in one visit — and you bill both encounters.
Market the expanded service to your existing patient base, referral sources, and local senior community. TympaHealth provides co-branded marketing materials.
Even a modest patient volume creates meaningful incremental revenue for your practice.

"Adding hearing care was the best business decision we've made. Our patients love getting both vision and hearing checked in one visit. It's set us apart from every other optometry practice in our area."
"I was surprised how natural the crossover was. Many of our aging patients need both vision and hearing care. Now we can serve them completely instead of sending them somewhere else."
"The training was straightforward and the system intuitive. Within a month we were confidently providing ear and hearing services. The added revenue has been fantastic — and so has patient feedback."
