Untreated hearing loss is the leading cause of social isolation, falls, and cognitive decline in long-term care residents. TympaHealth brings on-site ear and hearing care directly to your facility — no transport, no referrals, no delays.
Studies show that up to 90% of long-term care residents have unaddressed ear or hearing conditions — yet most facilities have no systematic approach to assessment or treatment.
The result: residents who can't hear staff clearly, who withdraw from social activities, who deteriorate cognitively — often without anyone connecting the cause to a treatable hearing problem.
TympaHealth changes this by making comprehensive ear care part of your standard resident health management — performed on-site, by your existing staff, at any time.
Addressing hearing health creates a cascade of positive outcomes that affect every aspect of resident wellbeing and facility performance.
Residents engage more clearly with staff, family, and fellow residents — reducing misunderstandings and improving care delivery.
Early hearing intervention reduces the #1 modifiable risk factor for dementia — protecting long-term cognitive function in at-risk residents.
Residents who can hear participate more in group activities, maintain relationships, and report significantly higher quality-of-life scores.
Hearing loss impairs spatial awareness and balance. Treating hearing conditions measurably reduces fall risk — with direct implications for quality scores and liability.
Residents and families notice the difference. Comprehensive hearing care improves CAHPS, CMS star ratings, and state survey outcomes.
Families who see their loved ones more engaged and responsive report dramatically higher satisfaction — and are more likely to recommend your facility.
TympaHealth is designed for the practical realities of long-term care. Mobile, fast, and easy for any trained staff member to operate.
TympaHealth's mobile system travels from room to room — or sets up in a common assessment space. No scheduled transport to external facilities, no patient stress, no logistics costs.
CNAs, LPNs, and RNs are trained and certified in under 2 hours. A clinical specialist from TympaHealth provides full on-site training and ongoing support.
Establish a routine hearing assessment schedule for all residents — quarterly reviews for at-risk residents, annual for all others. Tympa integrates with your care planning documentation.
Comprehensive resident-level and facility-level analytics. Document hearing health improvements for regulatory reporting, quality reviews, and family updates.
The Tympa System is portable, durable, and designed for use by non-specialist clinical staff. It delivers the same clinical standard as specialist ear care — anywhere in your facility.
